Former World No. 1 Boris Becker recently wished on what would have been his father's 88th birthday. Becker's father, Karl-Heinz, an architect, sadly passed away in 1999 at the age of 64.
Becker, the youngest-ever Wimbledon winner, has won six Grand Slam singles titles, including three Wimbledon titles. The German also won the Olympic gold medal in 1992. Following his retirement in 1999, Becker became a tennis commentator and even coached World No. 1 Novak Djokovic for a brief period of time.
Becker was sentenced to two years in jail for tax evasion by the Munich District Court in October 2002. In 2017, he filed for bankruptcy in the United Kingdom. He was sentenced to two and a half years in jail by UK courts in April 2022.
