Hard times lie behind Boris Becker.

Barely released from prison, there was already stress with Cathy Hummels.

Now the tennis star is relaxing on São Tomé and sending holiday greetings from the beach.

São Tomé – 2022 was an extremely turbulent year for Boris Becker (55).

The new year seems to start much better for the former tennis pro, at least.

As he shows on Instagram, Boris Becker is now enjoying a relaxing beach holiday on a luxury island.

Boris Becker's early release from prison leads to discussions

The Wimledon winner has had a tough few months.

In January 2022, a court sentenced him to two and a half years in prison for tax evasion.

However, after eight months in a London prison, Boris Becker was released early in December.

In an emotional interview, the 55-year-old spoke to Sat.1 about the difficult time in prison, his fear of murder and rape, and his relationship with his current partner Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro.

But many TV viewers did not take Becker's tears and were convinced that he had only "pressed the tear duct".

Influencer and new podcaster Cathy Hummels has also formed her opinion and explained that Boris Becker should have served his entire sentence, after all he had "ruined people." He was not at all enthusiastic about that - meanwhile Boris Becker is said to have filed a criminal complaint against Hummels .

After all the stress, the father of four is now treating himself to a relaxing holiday on São Tomé, the home of his girlfriend Lilian.

The volcanic island in the Gulf of Guinea belongs to the African state of São Tomé and Príncipe and impresses with its endless sandy beaches, coral reefs and rock formations rising from the jungle thicket.

He turns to his loved ones and all the people who would respect him and stand by him in the "hardest year" of his life.

"Now it's over and I think I came out stronger than before.

I think my mental health is better than ever, but I would never have made it without the help and support of so many people,"

said Boris Becker.

At the end there is a big kiss in the camera and a "God bless!"
