Boris Becker gave a personal insight into his life on the talk show “3 nach 9”. Among other things, he talked about his daughter Zoë, his time in prison and false friends who disappointed him.
In the talk show “3 nach 9” Boris Becker chatted about his current life and also gave deep insights into his time behind bars.
The tennis star was particularly proud of his month-old daughter Zoë Vittoria. He explained to presenter Giovanni di Lorenzo that he was already practicing tennis with little Zoë – and with great discipline.

“Since then, an hour has been relatively long for them.”
Becker joked that his wife Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro is also trained by him, although he also attaches great importance to structure: “Since then, an hour has been relatively long for her,” said Becker with a laugh.

Fake friends
But in addition to his family joys, he also spoke about the dark sides of his life, including his time in prison and the wrong friends who turned their backs on him during this difficult phase.
Becker’s best statements:
-
On his past: “I paid my bill and I’m a free man now.”
-
About fake friends: “Now all the parasites are coming back and want to have dinner or play golf with me.”
-
His new life: “The Italian trains are on time.” Becker cannot imagine a life in his old homeland of Germany: “Working again and again, but privately no!”
-
On his time in prison: “English prisons are brutal. I was in a penitentiary!”
