While his colleagues, including Tim Henman, have largely opted for a suit and tie for the Beeb’s coverage, Kyrgios has played by his own rules.

The 2022 Wimbledon finalist has worn a variety of more casual outfits – including a Boston Celtics hoodie and a large puffer jacket.

For the men’s singles final, however, Kyrgios went for a dapper grey suit.

He completed his look with a black shirt and white trainers.

Fans loved his change up, with one writing on social media: “Kyrgios is looking very dapper in that suit.”

While a second gushed: “Kyrgios looks soo smart in suit!”

A third swooned: “I have a big smile on my face just seeing Nick Kyrgios on screen wearing a SUIT! And looking great.”

And another added: “Nick Kyrgios has finally smartened himself up with a sharp suit.”
