Boris Becker tours hometown.

One of my all-time favorites and a player who first inspired me to pick up the game of tennis tours his hometown of Germany. Relives some great memories and gives some insight on his very first coach, and my first coach as well...the wall.

enjoy...

Becker does not look too good. Too many drugs? Miss him though. Great quotes and play. Heavy ball expert.

Agree Geoff. I was taken aback by his appearance. But man, could he play.

The Raging Bull...

It is almost like a Robert DeNiro portrayal of Jake Lamotta in "The Raging Bull"...but not quite.

"Just give me a stage where this bull can rage."

Ha, ha, ha. Almost. I thank god, took no peds, and don't drink too much, so my looks have not beckerized. "The fifth set is not about tennis. It's about sausage and cocaine."
