Tennis legend Boris Becker is now sympathizing with the golf legend Tiger Woods over extra-martial affairs which would have done and subsequently faced a media storm over it too. Boris Becker says that he can understand what Tiger Woods must be going through now, because he himself had been in that situation once-upon-time, when he had fathered a love child, after a brief tryst.

“I experienced basically the same thing and can sympathize with him,” he told ARD television in an interview to be broadcast later Monday. “There are all these stories that keep emerging. Whether they are true or not doesn’t matter anymore. Every week there is a new woman,” Becker said, in excerpts from the interview published by the Bild newspaper.

The 42-year-old legend said that he hoped Tiger Woods could reconcile with his wife Elin Woods, who has reportedly hired a Hollywood divorce lawyer, but acknowledged that it would be “damn hard” because of the humongous number of his mistresses.

Becker said that he had met the 33-year-old Woods on a number of times, expressed surprise about the number of women with whom the golfer reportedly had extramarital affairs. He was amazed at the logistical angle of the affairs, that how in the world Woods managed to keep so many mistresses under wraps for so long.
