Boris Becker, 52, has caused another scandal.

The icon made a sexist outburst during tonight’s US Open semifinals.

– This referee is extremely sweet, he said in the middle of the Eurosport broadcast.

Six-time grand slam winner Boris Becker now works as a television expert for Eurosport. On Friday night, he commented on the US Open semifinal between Spanish Pablo Carreño Busta and German Alexander Zverev on behalf of German Eurosport.

The game had an unexpected development when Carreño Busta literally ran over the favorite Zverev in the first two sets (6-3, 6-2). But when the third series began, attention turned to something else.

Sexist scheme

I mean, what Boris Becker said on the television broadcast.

– I must say that this judge is extremely sweet. You also eat with your eyes …

It wasn’t long before reactions began to appear on social media.

Boris Becker’s name has been in the media a lot lately. In addition to a luxurious vacation described with Swedish legend Björn Borg this summer, it has also been a lot about his personal financial crisis.

Go to court

Three years ago, Becker filed for personal bankruptcy with debts of around 500 million crowns and last year it emerged that he withheld 55 million Swedish crowns. Next week he will be in court in London, this because he is accused of not having fully cooperated with the English authorities.

The other day, Becker commented on the situation.

– I’ll defend myself against unfounded accusations, he said then.

Alexander Zverev turned around and won the semifinal against Pablo Carreño Busta (3-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-3) and is set for his first Grand Slam final of his career.
