He does realize he went to prison because of choices he made, right? Like... you did an illegal thing, Boris - that's why you were in prison. You're lucky they felt pity and let you out early.
"You're lucky they felt pity and let you out early": Tennis fans left annoyed at Boris Becker comparing player complaints to time in prison
ATPWednesday, 15 November 2023 at 09:30
Fans on social media did not like the comment of the former
world number one Boris Becker about players complaining about other things.
The 55-year-old recently commented about how he laughs
when he hears other players complaining about facilities and food, especially after
spending time in prison.

"When I hear players complaining about the pressure
they feel at one point, I laugh. When I hear players complain about the quality
of the lounge food, I laugh. When I hear players complaining about training and
the conditions on the pitches, I laugh. It means nothing compared to spending
time in prison. On the first and last night you don't sleep for a second,"
Becker said.
That comment did not go down well with the fans on social
media who reminded the six-time Grand Slam winner that he went to prison
because of his wrongdoings and nothing else.
The Leimen-born is currently coaching Denmark’s young tennis
tar Holger Rune to help him recover his lost mojo.
Becker won six Grand Slams
in his career. His most successful competition was Wimbledon where he ended up lifting
the title as many as three times—1985, 1986 and 189.
