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.
