Top German tennis player: Famous people who didn't graduate high school, German tennis player Boris Becker reached the heights of sports notoriety by becoming the number one ranked tennis player in the world.
Becker never graduated from high school and never attended college, but he is among a growing list of individuals who have not been hampered in the least by a lack of continuing education in achieving their goals or achieving financial security.
So great was Becker’s prowess on the tennis court that he turned professional in 1984 at the age of 17, a time when most other young men are graduating high school and scratching their heads about what career direction to turn toward.
Boris Becker has proven his skill not only as a champion on the tennis court but also as an astute businessman. After Puma discontinued producing his favorite tennis racket, Becker bought their molds and began manufacturing his own line of popular tennis rackets and sports apparel.
