01 December, 2012

Harayana's Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda did not miss the chance to play his favourite sport with his favourite sportsperson. He challenged the six-time grand slam winner Boris Becker who is on a personal visit in India. Both had a tough game and appreciated each other's game in the end.

BORIS BECKER, the well known tennis player is on a personal tour in India and is staying in Haryana and meeting the state's chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on December 1 was really that unexpected. They played a friendly game of tennis in which Boris Becker and his companion Sanjeev beat CM and Vinay Mohan with 8-6. Initially, the match was tied at 5-5.

Hooda, who likes tennis very much, appreciated the champion and showed his happiness after playing with him. "I told Boris that I was telling my wife that Becker will eat me unbaked," said Hooda after the match and was quite obvious with the results as per NDTV's reports.

The 65-year-old CM spent 2 hours against the German player on the court which made champion stunned. He also expressed his appreciation for the good whether of India. "When I left Germany there was snowing there but here the whether is very good and am looking forward for a good tour in India," said Boris talking to reporters.

He also said that Hooda is a fit personality because he often plays the game and thus he enjoyed playing with him. Hooda said that he met the champion 2 years back in Wimbledon. "When I met him two years back in Wimbledon I had a passion to play with him and by chance he came here and when we requested him for a match he humbly accepted our request. It was my pleasure to play with him," said Hooda.

This might be called as a benefit of being a Chief Minister of a state who got a chance to share a lawn and play with him even if he was defeated.
