Chris Evert is the latest member of the tennis community to come out publicly in support of Boris Becker after he was released from a British prison earlier this week.
Becker spent eight months in a prison earlier this year after breaking the law and hiding assets while declaring bankruptcy. The German was released a deporter back to his country this week giving a tell-all interview for German media. Several members of the tennis community have come out in support of him and one of them is Chris Evert.
She took the social media writing:
"Totally agree, @darren_cahill well said….He has paid his dues and sounds like he did a lot of soul-searching during his time in prison. There is a silver lining in this for him, somewhere…I wish him the best…"
Becker is lined up for a job in the German Tennis Federation with a book deal in place as well. He won't be returning to the BBC broadcasting team for Wimbledon in the next year as he's banned from entering the UK until his full prison term expires.
Totally agree, @darren_cahill well said….He has paid his dues and sounds like he did a lot of soul searching during his time in prison. There is a silver lining in this for him, somewhere…🙏🙏🙏I wish him the best…
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.
