Winning the Wimbledon men's singles title at the age of 17, reaching the top of the world at the age of 23, retiring at the age of 32, winning a total of 6 Grand Slam titles, 3 year-end finals titles, 13 Masters titles and 1 Olympic gold medal, this is the brilliant achievement of Becker's 15-year career.
The 35-year-old spent 11 years as a sports commentator at the BBC and coached Djokovic at the age of 46. During his 3-year coaching career, Becker helped Djokovic win 6 Grand Slams and 14 Masters titles. This is Becker's extraordinary contribution to tennis after his retirement.
He fell in love with Karen Schultz between the ages of 20 and 23 and Kasan de la Hepburn at the age of 24. At the age of 26, he married his first wife Barbara, at the age of 32, he had a one-night stand with a waitress after losing to Wimbledon, causing the woman to become pregnant and give birth, and divorced Barbara at the age of 33. At the age of 41, he broke up with the agent's daughter when he was engaged, married the Dutch model "Lily" at the age of 42, separated from "Lily" at the age of 51, and fell in love with the British model Layla Powell at the age of 52. Currently, Becker's girlfriend is Lillian de Carvalho Monteiro, who works as a political risk analyst in London. It was Becker's playboy-like experience of marriage.

The 35-year-old was sentenced to two years' imprisonment (suspended execution) and a fine of 300,000 euros by the District Court for tax evasion in Germany, with another tax of about 3 million euros. The 48-year-old, who had taken to court for living expenses and the purchase of a villa in Mallorca, Spain, was unable to repay it when it was due. The 50-year-old was ruled bankrupt by the London District Court, and the 51-year-old applied for a "diplomatic exemption" with a forged Central African Republic passport to evade court sanctions, which was refuted by the Central African foreign minister. The 52-year-old was forced to auction off the US Open championship trophy and other prizes to pay off debts. Late last month, Becker, 54, 5 months old, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison by a London court on four counts, including malicious debt evasion. This is Becker's experience from being sued to being imprisoned.
The total career bonus was $25.08 million, a $14.4 million settlement from divorce from his first wife, Barbara, and a Florida-based property, £2 million in maintenance for a child born to a one-night stand, and £22,000 a month in rent for a Wimbledon house. Separately, Becker invested £8 million in Nigeria's oil, but suffered heavy losses. It has been reported that Becker lived a life of luxury, spending lavishly and generously to his friends. This is Becker's legendary journey from rich to destitute.
Below is a group photo of Becker with his first wife, Barbara, and his two children.
Next, let's introduce Becker and his four children, focusing on his daughter who gave birth to a one-night stand with a bartender.
Becker and his first wife, Barbara, had two sons, named Noah and Elias, who granted custody of both children after divorce.
Becker's third child was a daughter, and the birth of this daughter was extremely dramatic. After losing to Raft in the fourth round at Wimbledon in 1999, Becker went to a bar for a drink and hooked up with a Russian waitress, Angela Ermakova, who later claimed to have only had oral sex with Elmakova. Subsequently, Becker's lawyers claimed that Elmakova had improperly stolen Becker's sperm and used it to inseminate herself. Eight months later, Elmakova faxed Becker to inform her of her pregnancy. After the birth of the child, DNA tests confirmed that Becker was indeed the father of the child, and after a lawsuit, Becker paid £2 million in child support.
On the right side of the picture below is Becker's daughter Anna.
Becker's daughter, anna, retained her mother's surname and is now a model, and is said to have a very good relationship with her father. Becker is currently serving his sentence in prison, and Anna, 22, said "I will support him, go to prison to see him whenever I have the opportunity and do everything I can to help." ”
In 2010, the son of Becker and his second wife, Lily, was born as Amadeus.
In combination, Becker has four children, Noah (28 years old) and Elias (22 years old) born to his first wife Barbara, Anna (22 years old) to the illegitimate daughter, and Amadeus born to his second wife at the age of 12. It is worth mentioning that Becker and his ex-wife and four children have a relatively good relationship.

Finally, let's talk about Becker's next prison life.
After being sentenced to two and a half years in prison, Becker was first taken to the court's security services and then handed over to Wandsworth Prison in south London.
Becker is reportedly currently serving a prison sentence. Wandsworth Prison is the second largest prison in the UK and is known for its harsh discipline and can accommodate up to 1,500 prisoners. Becker will live in a double cell measuring only 6.5 square meters, with only one hour of air release per day and only once every two months.
The exterior of the prison is on the left and the inside of the cell on the right.
If performed well, Becker would actually serve half of his sentence at the prison. That is, he served at least 15 months in prison. (Source: Tennis House Author: Yun Cirrus Yunshu)
