Boris Becker has been sentenced to two years and six months in prison. Angela Ermakova, with whom he has daughter Anna, now wishes him “strength”.
Boris Becker (54) was sentenced to two years and six months in prison last Friday. Angela Ermakova (54), with whom the tennis star has their daughter Anna (22), is “shocked” after the verdict, as she tells “Bild TV”. “I’m very sad,” she continues. “I feel sorry.”
She now wishes him “that he manages to convert his sentence into a shorter one”. She also wished him “strength to face the biggest challenge of his life” “to get back up as a stronger man”.
Angela Ermakova thinks the ex-tennis star was punished too harshly. The verdict also applies to his son Amadeus (12), who is completely innocent. “Amadeus is going through puberty, he’s going to a new school, he needs to make new friends there. He needs his father at this crucial time in his life. Especially when the British press writes about it and other 12-year-olds read it,” says her in an interview. She also feels sorry for Amadeus’ mother Lilly.
Daughter Anna Ermakova wants to visit him in prison
Daughter Anna Ermakova spoke up immediately after the verdict of the British Southwark Crown Court. “I will support him and I will visit him whenever I can. I hope that will help a little to get through the time,” she told the “Bild” newspaper.
Judge Deborah Taylor sentenced Becker to two and a half years in prison last Friday. He had previously been found guilty on four out of 24 charges by a grand jury in his adopted home of London.
The former tennis pro is said to have concealed his fortune in the millions after he was declared bankrupt by a London court in 2017. Becker and his team can still appeal the guilty verdict and the sentence.
