Ironically, at “his” tournament in Wimbledon, Boris Becker seemed to be denied an appearance on the TV microphone again this year. But now there is an unexpected appearance.
In the past, Boris Becker worked for the BBC as a TV expert at his favorite tournament in Wimbledon – but since the tennis icon is currently not allowed to travel to England due to his false statements in the insolvency proceedings after his early release from prison, Becker is helping the British broadcaster not available for the 136th edition of the lawn classic.
Nevertheless, the German celebrated his return to the expert microphone at the most famous tennis tournament in the world last Wednesday. As a surprise guest, the three-time Wimbledon winner commented and analyzed the men’s and women’s quarter-finals for Sky Italia. The Italian branch of the international broadcasting chain marketed Becker as a “special guest” (“Bum Bum a Sky”).
“I’m very happy and we’re going to talk about tennis,” said the 55-year-old in a video published by the TV station on Twitter.

In addition to the games on Wednesday, Sky also relies on the expertise of Becker for the men’s final on Sunday, who has been working as a TV expert for Eurosport since his release from prison in Germany. Becker analyzed what was happening at the Australian Open and the French Open,
Because the German TV rights for Wimbledon are with Sky and not with Eurosport, he is outside in his “living room”. Becker’s contract with Eurosport expires this year.
After his deportation from England, the native of Leimen watched the first games of the third Grand Slam of the year in his new adopted home of Milan, where he lives with his Italian-born partner Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro.
“Even if I’m not there, Wimbledon is still the best season for me. I’m looking forward to it finally starting on Monday,” he explained to the German Press Agency before the start of the tournament.
