Boris is back - Oz open

[Cruiseon]

Who would have thought such a quiet comeback was in progress. You can imagine my surprise when I saw that currently on court 18, no other than B Becker or Germany playing in the Australian Open. Even has a ranking of 55!!

He is up against a low seed but I say c'mon Becker.

[Luigi197]

lol u do kknow its Benjamin Becker... yea i was equally suprised

[Luigi197]

its his son.

humph

[Fletch74]

its his son.

No it's not!! lol ;D

[Cruiseon]

Now clearly I know this is not Boris but is this really his son?

Boris probably has about 16 sons dotted over the planet so anything is possible.

[Boomz]

I don't think it is...

[CrowsFan]

Nah not his son.
They are not even related

[Cruiseon]

Well I'm still barracking for him. He won the first set.

"Go Son of Boris"

Illegitimate Son?

[Luigi197]

won in straight sets. 7-6 6-2 6-4

[BoredSaint]

was watching too!!
pretty surprised he won.. gulbis is a quality player

[Cruiseon]

Maybe we should follow his progress through the tournament.

Any more background would be good.

[CrowsFan]

Here is some info. He is 29 years old and has only won one career title. His highest ranking has been 38 and the best he has done in a major open was getting to the fourth round of the US Open back in 2006.

The pain, the disappointment, I have only just found out 'son of Boris' has been defeated.

I wonder if he's been hanging out in any restaurant closets post match?

[Justin Bieber]

He was playing doubles today as well but missed the match :(.
