Businessman Boris Becker feels he's too busy to train hard enough for regular appearances on the expanding senior tour.
With the arrival of former rival Stefan Edberg onto the scene more than a decade after retirement, fellow over-40 Becker insists that he won't follow suit.
“I'm not that often on the tennis court nowadays. I play about ten exhibition matches per year,” said Becker, whose various commercials interests include tennis television commentary, a chat interview show on German private television, a clothing line and a company registered in Zurich.
“My body cannot take more. If I were to play on the Champions Tour, I would have to practise at least as much as in the old times.
”At some point you will feel your age“.
But Becker will be making an exception at the French Open, teaming with Cedric Pioline during the second week at Roland Garros. ”I'm very much looking forward to that“.
