Boris Becker reported from his last meeting with Steffi Graf. It took place behind a tree.
As part of the "Anhalt Sport meets Legends" event in Saxony-Anhalt, the former tennis star Boris Becker (52, "Life is not a game") revealed some entertaining anecdotes from his life and long career to around 250 guests. For example, how bizarre his last meeting with Steffi Graf (51), with whom he wrote tennis history many years ago, was.
The last conversation with Graf "was on the sidelines of the Australian Open in Melbourne," said Becker, according to "Bild". "She was hiding behind a tree in order not to be recognized. But I spoke to her. She asked me 'Don't tell anyone that I'm here.'" Becker also spoke about the worst opponent in his successful career at the event and was self-critical: "The biggest opponent was always the man in the mirror in the morning."
