Boris Becker, the former German tennis professional and six times Grand Slam champion, is going through an adverse phase in his life. A few weeks ago, he received a 30-month jail term for evading his debts by hiding assets and loans worth millions of pounds. Therefore, since his last hearing in April, the German is serving his time in Wandsworth prison and will be soon transferred as Wandsworth serves as a temporary prison.

Amidst all these recent changes, the former World No.1 has pleaded to hold on to his past profession. Becker is trying to strike a deal with television stations to get back to being a tennis commentator.

Boris Becker Might Operate From Prison

Becker has been a part of Eurosport since 2017. He used his knowledge of the game to interpret results of major tournaments and now is wishing to do the same but from different location. Currently, the tennis legend and the TV channel are negotiating to give a new direction to their collaboration. Further, Frank Wondl, a sports expert and Becker’s acquaintance, addressed the matter. As he said, “Eurosport is investigating with Becker’s lawyers whether it is possible to set up a home studio for Boris in prison.”

A New Addition to Becker’s Miseries

Boris Becker has been living in Great Britain since 2012 even though he never applied for a citizenship and is still a foreigner by law. Now that he is convicted, his case will be dealt in the same way as a foreign criminal.

As per the law, any foreigner serving sentence longer than 12 months is bound to be deported at the earliest opportunity for the sake of the public. Hence, as soon as Becker finishes his term, he will have to bid farewell to his home in Britain and return to Germany.
