Time in prison, according to Boris Becker, is an experience that can't truly be regained - Time, as Boris Becker suggests, remains an abstract entity, even in prison.
Boris Becker, the tennis legend, has shared his feelings about his imprisonment and its aftermath with the German magazine SZ-Magazin. At the age of 57, Becker was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in London in April 2022 for concealing assets worth millions from his insolvency administrators.
Becker served his imprisonment in England and was released in December 2022. Immediately after his release, he was deported to Germany. Despite his return to freedom, the experience continues to have a significant impact on his life.
"I was treated as a number, not a person," Becker said about his time in prison. He had to learn to cope with basic conditions and found the experience painful and degrading. Becker's feelings about his imprisonment are still with him, and he believes that the time he spent in prison will continue to occupy him for the rest of his life.
Becker lives in Munich with his third wife, Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro. The couple is expecting a child, and Becker's life has taken a new direction since his release from prison. Despite the challenges he faced, Becker remains optimistic about the future.
Becker's imprisonment and subsequent events have significantly impacted his life, but he is determined to move forward. He is not allowed to travel to his former adopted home of Britain, but he is focusing on building a new life in Germany.
Despite the hardships he has faced, Becker remains a tennis legend. His career achievements speak for themselves, and he continues to be an inspiration to many. As he looks to the future, Becker is determined to make the most of his second chance.
