| by Sebastian Dahlman

Boris Becker, the former German tennis star and six-time Grand Slam champion, is set to return to the sport as a consultant for Eurosport during the Australian Open.

This news comes after Becker was released from prison last month after serving eight months of a two-and-a-half-year sentence for hiding £2.5 million ($3.1 million) of assets and loans to avoid paying debts.

"I am delighted that Boris Becker is returning to our Eurosport team at the Australian Open," said Jochen Gundel, one of the managers of the German subsidiary of Warner Bros Discovery, the parent company of Eurosport. "Since 2017, Boris has been an integral part of the tennis broadcasts on Eurosport."

Becker's return to the sport has been met with mixed reactions, with some fans and critics questioning whether he is fit to return to a position of influence in the world of tennis. However, it seems that Eurosport is confident in Becker's ability to provide valuable insights and analysis during the Australian Open, and is looking forward to his return.

Whether or not Becker's return to tennis will be met with success remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: his presence at the Australian Open is sure to add an extra layer of intrigue to the tournament.
