Boris Becker sells former family home for nearly three million euros

Boris Becker, the celebrated German tennis star, is selling his former family residence in Leimen, Germany, with an asking price of 2.98 million euros. The property, described by the real estate agency Kozlowski Immobilien as featuring "generous architecture, a high degree of privacy, and an impressive panoramic view," is located in Becker's hometown.

The house was originally built in 1992 by Becker's father, Karl-Heinz Becker, an architect. The construction on the 825-square-meter plot cost approximately 4.6 million German marks at the time, making it one of the region's most distinctive private homes, according to the listing.

Yes, damn it, if you earn so much money, then spend it on prize money also in the early rounds for players who need it to survive.

Becker, a six-time Grand Slam champion, achieved global fame at 17 when he won Wimbledon in 1985. He has recently used his platform to champion the cause of professional tennis players in lower-ranking tournaments. He urged Grand Slam organizers to allocate more prize money to players who rely on these funds for survival, emphasizing the precarious nature of a tennis career that can end abruptly.

A tennis career can be over tomorrow.
