Boris Becker amazed by logistics of Woods’ affairs

Frankfurt, Dec 21 (DPA) Former tennis bad boy Boris Becker expressed his amazement Monday at how Tiger Woods managed to hide his numerous affairs for so long from his wife and other insiders.
Three-time Wimbledon champion Becker, 42, experienced a marriage-breaking moment of his own a decade ago when he fathered a baby girl in a fit of passion with a Russian model in an upstairs corner of a London restaurant in 1999.
“That happened to me a decade ago, I have the same experience,” the German told a television interviewer. “But I was surprised by the dimension, the frequency.”
“Given that he had to cover it all up - purely logistically - how did he organize it all?” Becker wondered.
“He must have constantly been changing phone numbers and trying to cover his tracks.”
But Becker said that no one but Woods himself knows the true story of the pattern of behavior which threatens to derail the world’s most prolific golfing career.
“Of course, from the outside, you don’t know if all of the stories are true,” said Becker. “Or whether they matter any more.”
