Boris Becker arrives at Wimbledon under the cover of an umbrella as Day One of the championships kicks off amid drizzly London weather


Boris Becker arrived at Wimbledon on Monday under the cover of an umbrella as Day One of the championships kicked off.

While tennis fans are eager to see the tournament return following a year off due to the pandemic, the weather proved rather a damp squib, with London mired in drizzle.

Boris, 53, who acts as one of the Wimbledon pundits, was seen sheltering under his large brolly as he headed onto the grounds.

The German former world No. 1 looked dapper in a navy suit, over a white striped shirt.

He wore black shoes and slung a mac over his arm, his VIP lanyard around his neck.

Boris – who won the first of his six major singles titles at the tender age of 17 – didn’t seem too off-put by the rain, as he headed through the security gate, into the leafy grounds of the world-famous tennis venue.

Boris will be commenting on the two-week competition, boasting three Wimbledon championships himself from his heyday.  

Wet wet wet! While tennis fans are eager to see the tournament return following a year off due to the pandemic, the weather proved rather a damp squib, with London mired in drizzle
