Boris Becker has confirmed that he won’t make his return to Wimbledon this year after being released from prison a few months ago – but indicated that he will be back at SW19 in the future. Becker has become a regular on the BBC’s coverage of the Wimbledon Championships over the years.
But he was absent from the 2022 tournament’s coverage as he was jailed for two-and-a-half years in April last year for hiding £2.5million of assets and loads to avoid paying debts after declaring bankruptcy. Becker spent 231 days in prison before being released in December and deported from the UK.
The six-time Grand Slam champion was back on TV for Eurosport’s coverage of the Australian Open earlier this year. But Becker, speaking in his first UK interview since being deported, has confirmed that he won’t be back working at Wimbledon this year.
“I miss London, it is my favourite city in the world,” Becker said on ITV’s This Morning.
“I’ve been there for a long time. I’m going to miss Wimbledon this year. I have to take my time before I will be coming back.”
