Boris Becker was spotted among the thousands of revellers who have descended on Munich for the beer festival Oktoberfest. 

The former World Champion was seen swigging lager and dancing in his home country in the Bavarian capital yesterday.

Just days after his estranged wife reportedly made a barb about him online, the tennis legend appeared relaxed as he celebrated one of Germany’s most famous traditions.

Becker, 50, is locked in a divorce battle with Dutch model Lilly Kerssenberg, 42, and appeared at the Central Family Court in London last week.

Before she faced her husband in court, Kerssenberg posted: ‘Not today, Satan not today. The Devil whispered in my ear: “You’re not strong enough to withstand this storm”. I whispered back: “It’s you that isn’t strong enough”.’

The sportsman also posted a negative comment despite his lawyer having previously claimed that the split was amicable.

‘There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it,’ he wrote. ‘You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don’t. Life is too short to be anything by happy.’

But there were no signs of bitterness today as he gripped a stein of beer at the event in Theresienwiese, where the 185th Oktoberfest got underway this weekend.
