Boris Becker

Boris Becker

  1. I like the guy, I want that to be clear. I think he’s a character and he was a great competitor. We had some close matches. He’s become a great man. He’s a great father, and he has put a lot of time and money into his community in Las Vegas. But his revelations are bound to change how people see him

  2. Andre Agassi, 20, wears some pretty outlandish costumes both on and off the tennis court, but to date has refrained from donning a wig. Boris Becker, 22, the German racket-wielder, however, is one tennis ace who reportedly has worn a wig to avoid identification by his followers.
