The German tennis legend was a mere teenager when he cemented his position in the tennis community by clinching two Wimbledon titles. However, things changed dramatically for the former tennis ace after moving away from the competitive game.
It was his brief liaison with a waitress in London that later turned out to be Becker’s most regretful moment. The Tennis Hall of Famer had a child as a result of that one-night stand with a Russian woman.

In 1999, the former German tennis player decided to put down his racket after playing his farewell match at the Centre Court. However, in a drastic turn of events, Boris Becker’s one-night stand in London later saw him have a child.
It was a result of his brief liaison with a Russian waitress who he met during his visit to the restaurant Nobu. Later, the news of his illegitimate child broke out, eventually reaching Barbara Feltus, his first wife. Due to the same, things got heated between the 55-year-old tennis legend and his former wife.
Reminiscing about his conversation in his documentary, Becker said, “But then every little thing we discussed, she came back with the joker card and said: ‘You shut the f*** up, because if the world knew what you had done, you are lost.’
He then realized that things won’t work in his relationship with Barbara as they later got divorced in 2001.

After his brief fling, Becker received a shocking fax from the same woman in London. He eventually discovered she was pregnant as a consequence of his affair.
