John McEnroe walks out of BBC Wimbledon coverage again as Andre Agassi swears live on air

The BBC's coverage of men's semi-final day at Wimbledon descended into chaos as John McEnroe was forced to walk out mid-programme - and not for the first time. Earlier in the tournament, the retired American ace had to leave the BBC's commentary box to go and call a match for American broadcasters.

And the same happened again while McEnroe was in the studio to debrief British wildcard Arthur Fery's defeat to No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev. McEnroe sat alongside Clare Balding and fellow retired stars Andre Agassi and Tim Henman, but had to leave in the middle of the broadcast.

It wasn't the only issue, as Agassi swore live on air while discussing seven-time former champion Novak Djokovic - something that wasn't picked up by his fellow pundits or Balding. McEnroe was already running down the clock while Agassi was previewing Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner.

"I'd like to hear what his perspective is on the next match coming up," McEnroe said, turning to Agassi. The eight-time Major champion replied: "I appreciate it John, normally you like giving your perspective!"

Agassi went on to discuss the Djokovic vs Sinner match-up and explained how the Serbian superstar could beat his young Italian rival. "I don't know how much of an answer you want," the 56-year-old told McEnroe, who was still hanging around.

"He's got to go!" Clare Balding exclaimed, but McEnroe insisted: "No, no. I want to hear the end of this." So Agassi continued his analysis, noting that Djokovic seemed to be keeping his cards close to his chest regarding any physical setbacks.
