Back Injury Prevents Three-time Wimbledon Champion From Playing Outback Champions Series Event This Week at SMU

Justin Gimelstob Replaces Becker in Round-Robin Field

DALLAS, October 22, 2008 - InsideOut Sports & Entertainment today announced that Boris Becker has withdrawn from competing in The Stanford Championships this week at Southern Methodist University due to a back injury. Becker, scheduled to make his debut on the Outback Champions Series circuit, will be replaced in the field by former U.S. Davis Cup player Justin Gimelstob.

"I am disappointed that I will be unable to play in Dallas due to a back injury,” said Becker. “I went to my doctor in Munich for treatment on Monday and it was fine but the long flight to the States Tuesday made it worse and after trying to hit for 30 minutes today it was clear that I would be unable to play tomorrow night. I am sorry I won't be able to play this week as I was looking forward to playing the Stanford Championships in Dallas very much but I hope to play in an Outback Champions Series tournament soon."

Tell me about it. I have a friend who had free tickets, and he was having trouble giving them away.

Wonder if Kournikova will still show up this weekend.

Gimelstob is playing on the Champions Series??? Isn't there qualifications to play on it? Weird.

Courier's been playing well. He won a tournament a little while ago over Todd Martin and it was randomly on TV.

He was a last minute scrub, when Becker pulled out.

I know. Does that mean this is a one time only thing? If he wanted to play another, would he not be allowed?

What are the qualifications again? Be former top five, slam finalist, or Davis Cup winner?

Was Gimelstob officially on a winning Davis Cup team? I think he has a mixed slam. Maybe that counts.
