Game, set and last match for Barker as she presents final Wimbledon

The BBC had offered Barker, 66, a three-year extension of her contract, but the presenter said the death of her mother, Betty, at 100 this year had contributed to the decision to hang up her mic. "My Mum was always so interested in my broadcasting career," she told the Daily Mail.

"When something like that happens it does make you reassess life."
