      He was one of my favourite tennis players…what did he do? Haven’t heard anything about him in years.

        You should read his wiki page–quite the rollercoaster from tax evasion, Wimbledon commentator, professional poker player, to prison.

          I wouldn’t call tax evasion and getting locked up as seeking relevancy but you do you.

            Hes even participated in Jungle camps to stay relevant

            https://www.hellomagazine.com/film/812463/celebrity-bear-hunt-boris-becker-knee-surgery-struggling-exclusive/ and…

            In May 2009, Becker announced the launch of online media platform Boris Becker TV. The website, in English and German, features clips from his career and footage of his daily life.[49]

              Now these are reasons. I agree. Participating in reality TV trash like Dschungelcamp is a cry for attention.

              Tax evasion and getting arrested isn’t.
