Tennis great Boris Becker is heading for the limelight again.
FILE - Former tennis player Boris Becker arrives at Southwark Crown Court in London, Friday, April 29, 2022. Fresh out of prison for bankruptcy offenses, tennis great Boris Becker is heading for the limelight again. German broadcaster SAT.1 was due Tuesday to air the first interview with Becker since his release, quoting the 55-year-old saying his jail time had taught him a hard lesson, a very expensive one, a very painful one.
That included coping with the lack of food, Becker said, as prison fare was largely restricted to rice, potatoes and sauce. “Sunday roasts” consisted of a chicken drumstick, he said. Known for his showmanship on the court, Becker said he immersed himself in stoic philosophy while in prison and embraced the opportunity to teach fellow prisoners math and English — despite being German.“I've never experienced such solidarity in the free world,” Becker said, adding that he planned to stay in touch with friends he'd made in prison.
Now he hopes to turn a new page and avoid the mistakes he made in the past — many of which he blamed on laziness and bad financial advice received from others that led to his 2017 bankruptcy.
