Tennis star served 231 days in prison after being found guilty of hiding assets and loans. Former tennis superstar Boris Becker has opened up on the 231 days he spent in prison, saying that it was a “huge embarrassment” but that he doesn’t “feel sorry” for himself. “If you feel like a victim you’re never going to make it out. I never felt like a victim and very early on I was trying to take responsibility for my actions, good and bad. I don’t blame anybody,” he added.

“I’m responsible for my good decisions and for my bad decisions. More importantly for me is how you finish and I feel like I really came out better.”. Becker fell far short of repaying his creditors in full, but Chief Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Nicholas Briggs said it would be “perverse” not to end the case given the efforts Becker made. “On the spectrum of bankrupts who range from ‘difficult as possible and doing everything to frustrate the trustee’s inquiries’ to ‘co-operative, providing information and delivering up assets’, Mr Becker clearly falls on the right side of the line," Briggs wrote.
