Celebrity Boris Becker, the tennis legend, has said that prison has made him a stronger person, despite claims that he complained about a German celebrity who criticized his early release.
Becker rang in the new year on a secluded beach on the island of So Tomé and Prncipe, off the coast of West Africa, where his girlfriend Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro was born.
‘I call this the most difficult year of my life,’ Becker said in an Instagram video.

‘But it’s finished, it’s done. I came out alive, and I believe I came out stronger. ‘I believe my mental health is better than it has ever been.’
The tennis ace faced a prison term under the Insolvency Act, in the nation and was sentenced to a 2 and a half year term. However, he was released in eight months and has been deported to his home country—Germany. He reportedly left in a private plane, sponsored by a GermanTV station which is expected to be the first to interview him, after he reaches home.
The 55-year old German, who was living in the U.K., since 2012 was found guilty, with four charges under the Insolvency Act. He left for Germany on Thursday as he qualified for automatic deportation as he is not a British citizen.
He was initially held at the Wandsworth Prison that is located in south-west London. He was later moved to Huntercombe Prison, in Oxfordshire this May, according to reports.
In June 2017, Boris Becker declared bankruptcy, over an unpaid loan, on his Spanish estate, in the island of Mallorca.

Early in 2022, he faced trial for accusations that he hid assets that were worth millions of pounds as he did not want to pay his debts; about 2.5 million pounds, according to reports. He was found guilty of four charges that were related to his bankruptcy. However, he was acquitted of 20 other charges.
In April, Judge Deborah Taylor at Southwark Crown Court sentenced him to a jail term of 2 and a half years but he got an early release in eight months, on Thursday. The judge said that Becker had played the system “with bad faith.”
The ace tennis player has broken several records in his tennis career that ended in 1999. He was the youngest Wimbledon champion, at the age of 17, in 1985. He won six Grand Slam singles titles, three of which were at Wimbledon. He had a 15-year old career as a tennis star. Fans are watching.
Boris Becker also worked as a tennis expert for the BBC. He became a tennis coach and nurtured the career of celebrity players including champion Novak Djokovic, who won 21 Gram Slam singles titles, to date.
Reports say that the disgraced, yet legendary tennis ace Boris Becker will return to his hometown of Leimen. His 87-year old mother Elvira lives there. According to reports, she told a friend that it was the “best Christmas present” she could hope for and was waiting to hold her “beloved son” in her arms.
