Prominent tennis coach Darren Cahill is looking forward to the moment tennis welcomes Boris Becker back after he spent some time in a British prison.
Boris Becker was released earlier this week from a British prison and he's back home in Germany now. He has a lot of plans moving forward and explained in his only interview since being released that he rediscovered his true self in prison. Darren Cahill is hopeful of that as he wants to see Becker embraced by the tennis community.
He reacted on Twitter writing:
"I'm looking forward to tennis welcoming Boris back to the sport. As a coach, commentator, mentor, advisor, anything he wants, as I'm sure the sport and the people within it will open their arms for him. We all wish him well."
Becker won't be able to attend Wimbledon in the next two years as he is banned from entering the UK until his full prison sentence (2,5 years) passes.
He used to be part of the BBC Wimbledon coverage team.

Wow, this says @TheBorisBecker is not allowed to re-enter the UK for a decade due to his early release. Is that right? Seems draconian - thought it would be just for the length of his original sentence theguardian.com/sport/2022/dec…
