During the two-week event, Kyrgios revealed he plans to play doubles later this year. However, he added he has not ruled out future roles on commentary after enjoying his time behind the microphone at the All England Club.
"I'm going to play some doubles later in the year that's for sure," said Kyrgios. "I can't wait to get back out there. Look, tennis is all I've done since I was seven years old, I've watched it, I've played it.
“I feel like I've done a relatively pretty good job [for the BBC]. I've really enjoyed it, I think me and Tim have made a great team. But yeah I'm as motivated as ever. When I was 21 and 22 I was going up against prime Andy Murray, prime Novak, prime Rafa [Nadal], prime [Roger] Federer. If I'm able to get back to where I was in 2022, I feel I've got a good chance to knock on the door for a Slam for sure."
