Boris Becker has been in demand again as a tennis expert on television for a few weeks. Now his son Elias has visited him at work.
Boris Becker (55) gets family support at work. The tennis legend, who was recently in an English prison for almost eight months, is currently back in front of the camera as a TV expert at the Australian Open. On the set of the Eurosport station in Munich, where Becker is again presenting his program “Matchball Becker”, his son Elias (23) has now paid him a visit.
Becker held the special moment with a joint photo on Instagram – a rare sight. “So happy my boy came to see me work,” he proudly captioned the photo, in which father and son smile arm in arm for the camera. Becker is shown in a dark blue suit, while Elias is casually dressed in jeans, a hoodie and a hat. The 23-year-old comes from Becker’s marriage (1993-2001) to Barbara Becker (56), as does his son Noah Becker (29).
Becker back to Eurosport
Becker celebrated his TV comeback in mid-January, just a few weeks after his release. On his Instagram account he had already demonstrated in the run-up to the first edition of “Matchball Becker” how hot he is about his return in front of the camera: “Finally the time has come. I’m back and can pursue my passion – documenting tennis, about tennis to speak!”
Together with commentator and moderator Matthias Stach (60), he is on the air every day to classify the matches from Melbourne and events Down Under and to present the highlights of the tournament day.
