Boris Betting On Future
(Berlin, Germany) — Former tennis star Boris Becker has begun a career as a professional poker player, according to Germany's Die Welt newspaper.
"I have already been playing intensively since last year," said the 40-year-old who won Wimbledon three times and has signed a sponsorship contract with [PokerStars].
Becker says he learned to play the card game while on the ATP circuit, especially at Wimbledon during the rain breaks.
Becker says he is hoping to take part in Europe's grand final this April which will bring together 800 professional players in Monte Carlo.
