Who is Boris Becker?

Why: In "The Office," Angela described Hilary Swank as "a female Boris Becker."

Answer: He is a retired German tennis player who was good and famous when I was a small child! Also called "Boom Boom" (and "Boom Boom Baron von Slam"), he is 6-time Grand Slam singles champion (between 1985 and 96), an Olympic gold medalist (92), and the youngest-ever winner of the men's singles title at Wimbledon at the age of 17. He retired in 1999.

The truth is that I probably watched him play before. We used to watch a lot of tennis in the summer.
