Boris Becker will be back in the pits … but not at Wimbledon after his release from prison

Boris Becker will be back on TV for the Australian Open this month and is resuming his studio role at Eurosport in Munich after his release from prison in December.

However, the 55-year-old German will not be back on screen for the BBC at Wimbledon in July as he is barred from the UK under the terms of his early deportation.

After spending eight months behind bars after being convicted of financial crimes, he is barred from re-entering the country indefinitely.

There is no chance that this deadline will expire before the summer.

A player Becker used to work with, Novak Djokovic, made a successful return to singles action in Adelaide on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old Serb was again well-received before beating France’s Constant Lestienne 6-3, 6-2 and is trying carefully not to rekindle old tensions following his ejection from Australia in 2022.
