Boris Becker Mourns the Loss of His Mother, Elvira Becker, at 89

Elvira Becker passed away in her hometown of Leimen, Germany, just one day before her son's 57th birthday.

Elvira Becker, mother of tennis legend Boris Becker, died at the age of 89 in her home in Leimen, Baden-Württemberg.
Her death was confirmed by Boris Becker's lawyer, who stated that the former tennis star is deeply grieving the loss.
Elvira was a significant figure in Boris Becker's life, supporting him during his career highs, including his historic Wimbledon win in 1985, and personal challenges, such as his 2022 imprisonment in the UK.
