What’s worse than being dumped by your fiancee via text message? Being dumped by your fiancee via six text messages. That happened to former tennis star Boris Becker, 40, when Sandy Meyer-Woelden, 25, informed him by text messages that they were breaking up. “On Friday evening, Oct. 31, I suddenly got an SMS from Sandy . . . saying that this was it, that this is over,” Becker said. “To make sure how serious she was, she sent me five others saying the same thing. I was completely surprised.” Those texts, Becker said, “trampled on my soul.” Los Angeles Times; AFP/Getty Images photo
