Boris Becker Trades Tennis For Poker?

Tres Sportif BBECKER041408_08.jpg It's been almost twelve years since Boris Becker's last title, but it looks like the tennis star wants another one - well, sorta!

We caught Boris Becker and his girlfriend in Monte Carlo yesterday afternoon where the former tennis great had just been in competition as part of the PokerStars team. Unfortunately, Boris didn't have quite as much success on the felt as he did on a grass court - he ended up dropping ten thousand euros at the tables! PokerStars - they're just like us!

At least Boris was willing to smile in the face of defeat - what a good sport!

Better luck next time, Boris!

A few days ago, I saw his profile with great photos on millionairefriends.com. It seems he is falling in love with a pretty girl.

Who is that girl? that isnt his "regular" girlfriend is it?

Anyhow, seeing Boris out and about isnt a big deal- seen him many times. In fact he bumped right into me in the Neva Bar in Munich, Germany

Boris is a legend.He happens to be in Monte Carlo not only because of the poker tournament but because of the Monte Carlo tennis Masters Series where the best players in the world will play:Federer,Nadal,Djokovic and where the weasel like the American players usually punks out of.Funny how the dirtballers are the ones winning the grand slams and punks like the Roddick who either gets a fake injury right in time for clay season;as a ready excuse for his annual lame showing in Paris and that wimp Blake who can only win on hard courts;forget about inconsistent Mardy Fish and Ginepri and worhless Spadea and the upcoming 1 dimention"I can only win on hard courts" punks like John Isner;Sam Querrey and Donald Young.
Dirtballers will show up 1 week prior to the US Open and beat the yankees while Roddick,Blake,Fish,Ginepri think they need just 1 tournament on the red clay of Europe and show up in Paris and whine and yap when they lose about their lack of practice.
thank god Roddick isn't winning majors.Cannot stand that ballbasher Blake.
Hooray for Federer,Nadal and Djokovic;they make tennis fun while the Americans and they 1 dimensional;play on 1 surface stinks.
I hope Roddick injures his knee and is done for the year;now that he beat a struggling Federer;he think he's the shit!
Cannot wait until they thrash his arrogant ass in Rome.Hell I hope he meets Federer and I hope Roger beats the hell out of Andy!
