Boris Becker plans a sentimental return to Wimbledon, scene of his three titles two decades ago. The current BBC commentator is renting a new home just steps from Centre court with an eye on beating down the $9 milllion pricetag.
London media report the German will quit his base in Switzerland after renting the property for a healthy $22,800 per month during the tournament period.
"Wimbledon will become my new home. My property is right next to the car park and I can see the indoor practice hall from my garden. I'm also 100 steps from Centre court. Ideal", he told the Daily Mail.
But as a foreign national, Becker's accountants will be able to lift most of his UK tax burden. The German said that his move is a sure thing despite not yet purchasing his dream property.
