The German tennis player returned to Mallorca with his partner Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro to attend an exhibition of paintings by his son, Noah, which opened at the new Gerhardt Braun gallery in Plaça Chopín in Palma on Friday night. He looked relaxed and happy as he chatted with guests at the exhibition.
Boris Becker’s career took off when he won Wimbledon in 1985 at the age of 17 and he went on to win a raft of awards, including six Grand Slams tournaments two Masters Cups, and an Olympic medal in Barcelona 1992.
