March 5, 2011: "Like tennis, poker is very much a mind game. You’re out there on your own. It’s fun to BS your opponents with your tactics."
— Boris Becker, six-time Grand Slam winner who retired from the pro tennis tour in 1999, has a contract with pokerstars(dot)net and plays online, talking to ESPN The Magazine.
June 28, 2007: "He hasn't got any competition.  In the days of McEnroe, there was Bjorn Borg.  I had Ivan Lendl, Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras.  Now, on grass, we have Federer, and do you see anyone who can beat him?  Because I don't."
—three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker, telling The Sunday Telegraph (UK) that he doesn't see anyone who can dethrone Roger Federer at Wimbledon.
May 15, 2005: "I can't wait to see them commentate on the same match together. I'm very curious who will be lead commentator and who will be the sidekick. I hope it will happen but I don't think it will. There will definitely be tension between them. I know because whenever I sit down with Jimmy or John and have a beer, we talk about the other guy. Of course, they're just jealous of each other.”

—Boris Becker, on former archrivals, Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe, who will share BBC commentary box this Wimbledon fortnight, talking to The Telegraph (UK)
