On Saturday night we were walking through Hyde Park in London. I spied this gentleman and I couldn’t believe it. I’m not one hundred percent positive, but I think it was Boris Becker. What do you guys think? For those who are unfamiliar with Becker, he’s a former World Number 1 tennis player from Germany. When he was 17 he won Wimbledon, making him the youngest man to win Wimbledon.

Sorry, can’t tell. Certainly could be though, based on some pictures I have seen in the past year.
It is so hard to say for sure. Thanks for looking.
I’m pretty certain it is. Well spotted!
Hello! Thanks for the affirmation. We are such tennis fans that it was exciting to see him.
I saw a picture of him with a woman who looked like the one next to him. It probably is 🙂 How exciting.
Thanks Skye. It was pretty cool. We love tennis!
Seems that he was… The lady made me sure to think like that 🙂 Should be his wife Lily! Nice captured one, Thank you dear TBM, with my love, nia
Thanks Nia!
Ooh, I don’t know, but how cool to spot him! 🙂
Thanks Katie. I hope we really did spot him.
Hmmm…I hope you find out if it is really him.
Me too…but not sure how I will know for sure. I’m pretty certain, but there is that nagging doubt in my mind.
For sure he is! Every German would tell you the same 😀 No doubt about 🙂
Really! That’s awesome. I don’t think I would get excited to see a movie star, but I love tennis so this is exciting! Thanks!
Certainly looks like him!
It does doesn’t it!
Yes, I´m sure it´s him with his wife!
I wondered if that was his wife. I couldn’t tell from the photos online. I’m hoping your are right. Thanks!
I think it definitely looks like him, and the age would be about right. I miss those days of tennis. I was a big fan of tennis at that time and watched it religiously on the telly.
Do you ever want to get back into tennis? The Australian Open is coming up in January if you want to catch some matches. How’s the NFL season coming along?
Oh I miss it at times, but to be honest there is just so much to fill the time. I do miss actually playing tennis and told my wife that this next year we need to get out and push our old bones around the court some.
We are also trying to get motivated to hit the courts again and play. It is great exercise that is pretty entertaining. My serve is horrible! Maybe we can encourage each other. You got me to read Dune this year, maybe you can get me on the tennis courts.
Very cool!
Thanks! It was fun to walk next to Boris Becker.
It sure looks like him and his wife
I really hope so. It was amazing for two tennis fans to bump into him in London.
Well spotted! 🙂
Thanks Robin!
