Summary

---

Born into a wealthy German family in 1967, Boris Becker won his first Wimbledon title (of three) when he was just 17 -- the youngest man ever to do so. Since retiring in 1999, he has set up a string of businesses, including car dealerships, property and branded tennis gear. Becker married actress Barbara Feltus in 1993 and the couple had two sons.

He now lives in London with his second wife, the Dutch model Sharley Kerssenberg, and their five-monthold son, Amadeus.
