The on-court excellence of Boris Becker was undeniable. However, the German tennis icon’s tumultuous personal life often overshadowed his achievements in tennis. Things became especially difficult for Becker in 2001 after he went through a divorce with Barbara Feltus. Following the divorce, it came to light that Becker had a sexual encounter at a London restaurant with Angela Ermakova, a Russian waitress, in 1999. At the time, Feltus was pregnant with her and Becker’s second child. Details of the encounter shook Becker’s life, but they shook Ermakova’s more. As a result, to this day, Ermakova remains vocal about Becker’s problematic traits.

Boris Becker blamed his victims, Ermakova claimed in a veiled IG post

After reports emerged that Becker’s one-night stand with Ermakova had resulted in a child, the German tennis legend was in denial. However, eventually Becker acknowledged his fatherhood. These developments did little to soothe Ermakova’s anger towards Becker.

Ermakova took to Instagram to criticize Becker in a veiled April Fools’ day post. In the caption, she wrote, “I think we all know a person who fits the description. He is always FULL of himself.” Her rant only got harsher as she stated that “He puts his best clothes on to present the facade, but forgets to put his pants on”.

She went on to state, “He puts his best clothes on to present his facade, but forgets to put his pants on – to emphasize the part of his body that guides him, instead of his soul.”

Ermakova concluded her post by saying, “whatever pain he causes to others, he never accepts the guilt, and instead blames his victims instead.”

The extent of Becker’s denial that shook Ermakova to the core

According to a report by the Guardian, Becker’s lawyers did everything they could to cover up his Ermakova escapade. They went as far as to saying that Ermakova stole Becker’s sperm for self-insemination following their encounter.

The argument affected Ermakova. Following Becker’s admission that he was, indeed, the father of the Ermakova’s daughter, there was public outcry. Becker’s fatherhood was finally confirmed via a DNA test.
