How Boris Becker flew to Germany in a private jet to plot his most ... (Daily Mail)

For a man whose inimitable style on the tennis court was matched only by his colourful escapades off it, Boris Becker's departure from British shores this ...

Despite his vast debts, Becker has managed to cling on to a £1.8million seven-bedroom villa in Leimen, just a short drive from the picturesque city of Heidelberg, where his beloved mother Elvira, 87, still lives in a granny flat. That day he strode into court wearing his All England Club tie, membership of the prestigious club having being conferred after his first Grand Slam win. Those who know Becker say a reunion with his mother will have been first on his priority list. 'My parents wanted me to study and do something serious, to be a doctor or lawyer. While other family members saw him in prison, she had to cancel similar plans to visit because of her health. In PR terms, then, his first move will be to win over the hearts of his home nation. If this happens, it would be a real blow to Becker, considering his youngest child Amadeus, 12, lives with his estranged wife Lilly, 46, in London, as do son Elias, 23, and daughter Anna Ermakova, 22 (who was born after Becker's liaison with a Russian model at restaurant Nobu). Yet for all his natural ebullience, the words of Judge Deborah Taylor, recorder of Westminster, may still ring in his ears. Meanwhile Mr Hordorff also told the Mail this week: 'Of course, Boris is part of the German tennis family. That apart, Becker's German lawyer Christian-Oliver Moser said on Thursday that the former tennis star had 'served his sentence and is not subject to any penal restrictions in Germany', all of which squarely puts Becker back courtside. Such is the dichotomy of Boris Becker, who as an unseeded 17-year-old sensation became Wimbledon's youngest-ever male champion in 1985, chalking up some £20million in career winnings, and tens of millions more in lucrative deals.
