Tennis legend Boris Becker is said to have pressed the emergency button several times in his cell at Wandsworth prison. The guards then warned him. Allegedly claustrophobia was the reason for the incident.

Boris Becker (54) is said to suffer from claustrophobia in prison. So he apparently asked the guards to leave his door open. While some overseers complied with this request, others apparently did not.

As “Bild” now reports, the ex-tennis star is said to have pressed the emergency switch in his cell again and again because his door was closed. “After Becker repeatedly pressed his head without a real emergency, he was warned that the switch was not for hotel room service,” a prison employee is quoted as saying by “Bild”.

The incident is said to have happened over the weekend. At that time, the prison was understaffed, “like in a hospital,” the employee explains.

The report also states that the 54-year-old has had to share the cell with a roommate for a few days. His tour of the yard also fell into the water due to bad weather. Factors that could have increased the alleged claustrophobia.

Small consolation: Becker is said to have ordered sweets at the prison kiosk, which – thanks to the prison delivery service – would have already reached him.

Boris Becker is said to enjoy a celebrity bonus in Wandsworth prison after a short time. At least that’s what insider information from the “Bild” newspaper says. Not only could the tennis legend have his door open during the day – he was also allowed to make more calls than usual on his first day.

Carsten Maschmeyer has had a check with him for two seasons, which he can fill out if necessary and then hand over without a deal. In the sixth episode, the time had finally come. The founders were speechless.

The Essen police apparently prevented a killing spree at a high school. A special task force stormed the apartment of a 16-year-old early Thursday morning. They found more than ten pipe bombs. The tip came from a young person, and an alleged announcement was also discovered on a school toilet.
