WAYNE Ferreira, the world sixth seed, beat Boris Becker in the tennis legend’s home town of Munich in the German Open on Tuesday. Wayne Ferreira foiled Boris Becker’s latest attempt to finally win a title on clay, defeating Germany’s three-times Wimbledon champion 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 at the $525000 German Open on Tuesday. Despite being cheered on by 4500 hometown fans, Becker was unable to overcome the patient Ferreira, who won the tournament here in 1995. Becker broke the South African’s service to take a 5-3 lead in the first set and then held his own. In the second, the roles were reversed as Becker lost his service to allow Ferreira to take a 5-3 lead. In the final set, Ferreira broke his opponent in the fifth game and went on to win the match after 1 hour and 53 minutes. Becker at least had the pleasure after the match of being formally declared an honorary member of the MTTC Iphitos Munich tennis club, which is hosting the competition. Becker previously led 9-1 in matches against the South African.
