You Will Become My Wife’ – Defamed Tennis Legend Exaggerates His Flirting Game With Ex-Wife Upon Their First Meeting in 90s

Former world No.1 legendary German tennis player Boris Becker was one of the most remarkable players to ever grace the tennis court. Early on in his career, he cemented his position in the realm of tennis by winning three Wimbledon titles (1985, 1986, 1989). Becker is the youngest tennis player to win Wimbledon at the age of seventeen.

In 1993, the tennis player tied the knot with the Russian model named Barbara Feltus. However, the couple divorced in January 2001. In a snippet from an upcoming documentary, Becker can be seen detailing his first meeting with Barbara. However, the sequence of events is not the way how his ex-wife remembers it.

Boris Becker revealed his first meeting with Barbara

Boris Becker was embroiled in multiple controversies throughout his career. The documentary – “Boom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker” which is scheduled to be released on 7th April on AppleTV gives insights into Becker’s initial meeting with his former wife. In the 1990s, when Becker was at the peak of his career, he thought about starting a family with Barbara.

“I looked at her and thought: Mmmh … I said to her: We don’t need to talk much longer. I think you will become my wife. That’s it. I swear to God,” Becker revealed about his first meeting with Barbara.

However, following Becker’s confession, Barbara straightway disagreed, and she corrected him, “Was it like that? Not quite! He didn’t say the sentence to me that night but to a friend of mine.”

She continued, “He said, ‘Are we going to my place or are we going to yours. BOOM!’ Boris talks himself out again.”

However, the blissful marital life was smashed to smithereens as Becker was actively involved in an affair with Angela Ermakova in 1999. Soon after that, his marriage with Barbara fell apart with the couple parting ways in 2001.

All about Boris Becker’s new documentary

Filmed by Alex Gibney, the documentary will provide an insight into the legendary tennis player’s highs and lows. Moreover,  tennis fans can get a feel of nostalgia from the 80s and 90s, with interviews from many star players at that time – McEnroe, Borg, Wilander, and Stich.

The filmmaker Alex revealed the challenges he faced with Becker while filming the documentary. Alex was not surprised about putting the Nobu incident into the documentary. He stated, “I knew that, by the time I had started, of course, the Nobu incident was well known and some of the more scandalous episodes and.. problems with finances hanging over him.”

Hopefully, Boris Becker’s documentary turns out to be an amazing experience as the fans would also like to see many of their tennis stars give their thought about Becker’s journey; on-court and off the court as well.
