German national selectors had to look twice at the list of names when selecting their U-16 national squad last year.
A budding young footballer - who happens to share the same name with the tennis great - was chosen for the team and made quite an impression when playing against Northern Ireland in September.
The youngster is currently on the books of FC Kaiserslautern (Mark Schwarzer’s old club), and plays as a defender. He was born on 2 September 1991 – making the 2014 World Cup a realistic target.
Boris Becker - the tennis player - is also a known football fan and was a special commentator at the 2006 World Cup. A famous fan of Bayern Munich, Becker was also seen playing Ukrainian boxer Vladimir Klitschko in an exhibition at the Street Football World Festival.
Boris Becker, remember the name!
