Tennis Star Boris Becker Dumped by Text Message
German tennis player Boris Becker, who has won Wimbledon three times, was broken up with via text message last month, says Textually.org.
Becker's 25-year-old ex-fiancee, Sandy Meyer-Woelden, apparently broke off her wedding with the 40-year-old tennis champ via a string of five text messages. Becker explained:
I suddenly got an SMS from Sandy... saying that this was it, that this was over. To make sure how serious she was she sent me five others saying the same thing. I was completely surprised.
Those texts, Becker told reporters, "trampled on my soul."
If anybody sees her, please inform Ms. Meyer-Woelden that her break up methods are in clear conflict with our fundamental digital dating guidelines. [From: Textually]

Sounds like a good plan to me, to avoid the conflict it could have be seeing the person , and then telling them it's over buster! Or it's over lady cheat!
babyagoogooNov 24th 2008 8:26PM
Why would anyone want to break-up in person? When its over its over...NEXT!
jayrNov 24th 2008 8:45PM
It's about mutual respect, fool. You wouldn't want that to happen to you, right? What goes around do comes around.
LillianNov 24th 2008 8:44PM
I would like to know is this the same guy that cheated on his wife or girlfriend who had is child a few years ago? If so, what goes around comes around!!

what's a 40-year-old man doing dating a 25-year-old anyway?
i bet he has shoes older than her.
chances are, she was trying to BREAK AWAY and he wouldn't have it so she had to send him that impersonal message.
old dudes who cruise for young chicks should realize that these girls rarely really love you -- they just love that loot. young girls want to date men closer to their own age. sure at first an older man may make a girl feel more grown-up and protected, but then, after a while, she realizes that the relationship is irregular and that the man she is dating is just going through a mid-life crisis.
sounds like she had more options.
what is wrong with dating a woman closer to his own age?

and you're an expert how? you offer you OPINION as fact.
there is a huge problem being engaged for marriage, then breaking up via text.
PamelaNov 24th 2008 10:21PM
Something just doesn't add up. If a person had enough love for a person to get engaged in the first place I don't think that they would decide to just call it off out of the blue like that. There is definitely more to this story....
VicSinNov 24th 2008 10:23PM
This woman has zero class in my book. She was engaged to this man and should have handled it much better than a pathetic text message. This is what is wrong with the world today...the total disrespect for other peoples feelings. No wonder nice guys are so insecure and do not believe it when a nice woman tells them she loves them. They have had their feelings trampled over by evil sluts like this chick. She will get her payback eventually.
jasonskrewNov 24th 2008 10:24PM
What a tramp. If I were Boris, I'd film myself having sex with another chick, (preferrably one of her friends) and e-mail it to her.
She has no class and is your typical bimbo who's he's better off
without.
bethNov 24th 2008 11:01PM
You don't know the whole story. It could have been a heat of the moment text where she was upset at him. I'm sure that they spoke about it at first or he did something horrible. you dont' know the whole story. I broke up with someone through email and I didn't even want to. I just got upset over something stupid.
kateNov 25th 2008 1:48AM
You THINK you have a classy approach? Think again! I agree that there's more to the story but no one should be text messaged about breaking an Engagement! If it's infidelity, better finding out now...rather than later!

uhh, hello...she's 25 - he's 40...too bad...
JoeNov 24th 2008 11:08PM
While there are still women out there with tons of class, it's just there are more and more women out there who have none, who are only out for themselves in every way possible. This doesn't surprise me one bit today. A true lady would brake up in person giving the kind of respect the other deserves, even if the other has done something terrible in which a brake up is going to happen. Fact is, people know when a brake up is about to happen or at least have a good idea. That is, if people are honest with themselves. But to end it over the phone and now "text messages" is really a coward filled with anything but class. People who do cowardly things such as this at other people expense will no doubt get what is coming to them one day. If you're big enough to get involved with another then your big enough to get uninvolved with that same person...at least you should be!
kwDec 9th 2008 8:24PM
again...she's 25 - texting is the way
agent smithNov 25th 2008 9:14AM
Wow, texting is the way. Thats the most pathetic thing I have ever heard. Only someone young, dumb, and tainted by technology would believe something like that. Obviously there is an age difference between them, but to say matters of the heart are handled by text, and not in person is whats wrong with younger people today raised with no morals by lazy parents.If your going to step on someones heart, at least have the moral fiber to do it in person. Dont be a Coward.
mikeNov 24th 2008 11:15PM
This reminds me of the old saying. A coward dies a thousand deaths and a hero only has to die once lol Man being a coward is a painfull experience and you dont need Karma people fail to udnerstand its as jesus said in your conscious thougt. Wait till she has to sleep LOL thats where the nightmares begin no need for it to come around. The minute you do wrong wham you start suffering. Words of wisom people words of wisdom
KarynNov 24th 2008 11:19PM
That sucks I was done the same way. A guy who I was seeing and who told me I was the sweetest, niceset, sexiest most understanding girl he ever had in his life told me after not calling me for a few dayS In a text" OH WELL ME AND MY EX HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT AGAIN" Then he had the nerve to wait 2 weeks to call me and say he was sorry about the way things turned out and I was a really good friend to him when he needed it and could I ever forgive him? Cause he didnt want to lose me as a friend. What an A** !!! I simply texted him You lost me the day u sent the text ..... have a great life.
jaimegNov 24th 2008 11:22PM
Boris... consider your self lucky!
At least it wasn't a text after the wedding saying she wants out and half the money! 25 is 25!
Game, set, match!
kuuipo018Nov 24th 2008 11:27PM
Breaking up via text message is not only immature it is tacky. If you supposedly "love" someone to the point that you agreed to marry them than you owe that person more than a text message plain and simple.
