Boris Becker was not the Lion at 17 years and seven months, when he conquered the world of tennis. A teenager with the most wonderful trophy, the Wimbledon trophy, in the Cathedral. A postcard that was immortalized: the German became, since then and for more than ten years, in one of the greats in history. She had it all: talent, class, aura, youth, the whole world ahead of her. The wind, from her side. Nevertheless, mixed up in sin. She was a victim –she was an accomplice– of the temptations of life. Some and others. And today, right now, he is in prison. An idol behind bars. The information is hard, raw. Becker, triple champion at Wimbledon, faces the worst moment of his life. This Friday, the former tennis player appeared before a London court in relation to his personal insolvency, after being accused of having hidden his monetary and real estate assets to declare bankruptcy in 2017 and not pay his debts. The sentence was two and a half years in prison.. Of that time, he must serve half in jail.The former number one in the ranking, from 54 years, appeared at court in a Wimbledon suit and tie. He walked calmly up the steps and entered hand in hand with Lilian de Carvalho, his girlfriend. He was found guilty on April 8, for transferring hundreds of thousands of pounds from his business account and failing to declare a property in his hometown of Leimen.Former tennis number 1, a great in the history of his sport, Boris Becker arrives with Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro at Southwark Crown Court, London, to hear the sentence; he had already been convicted three weeks earlier.Victoria Jones-PA WireHis problem may have a direct relationship to other dramas of life. More internal, personal. An artist without psychological support can collapse, over time, like a deck of cards. The head, and also the heart, of course, are everything. Years ago, in a talk with the Spanish newspaper El País, he opened his interior. He used to say things like these…– He would get very angry on the dance floor. Did that help him? “No. I lived moments of despair and frustrationespecially at the beginning. I was too weak to hide my emotions. That showed my opponents my moments of weakness. [John] McEnroe was using it to his advantage, it buoyed him up. I yelled a lot, broke rackets… -Novak Djokovic, for example, has learned to control himself a little more. Does that have to do with improving his results?” “When he complains or whines, he doesn’t play better. To begin with, he had talent, but he wasn’t mature enough to hide his emotions from him. The more you contain them, the better you play.In another section he confessed with the utmost crudeness: “Now that I am older, I can speak more easily. When you live in the media, when you succeed in a profession that depends on them, you are bound to receive criticism: you are too tall or too short, too German or too little German… It was very easy for me to silence them: I won another tournament. Now it’s harder: I can’t win it. It is an impossible fight. I can’t please everyone. Living life well implies learning things and changing some opinions. It would be worrying to think the same at 25 as at 45. When I go through the streets of Madrid or those of Berlin, many people applaud me: I have done one or two things well, right?”.
