Mourning for Uwe Seeler also affected the Hamburg European Open tennis tournament on Thursday. Spectators, athletes and organizers commemorated the Hamburg football legend with a minute’s silence. A photo from 1986 was recorded. On it, tennis lover Seeler could be seen in a doubles match at Hamburg’s Rothenbaum with Wimbledon winner Boris Becker at his side. Her opponents in the show match were Becker’s ex-manager Ion Tiriac and comedian Otto Waalkes. Seeler, who died on Thursday at the age of 85, was a passionate tennis player.
