A life full of ups and downs, triumphs and trials – and a person who continually reinvents himself: Boris Becker. At just 17 years old, the sports legend was already standing on the Center Court at Wimbledon – and in 1985 he made tennis history as the youngest winner of all time. His name becomes synonymous with fighting spirit, emotion and the irrepressible will to win. With a total of six Grand Slam titles, an Olympic gold medal and numerous other successes, Boris Becker is one of the greatest athletes Germany has ever produced. But he also repeatedly makes headlines off the pitch – whether as Novak Djokovic’s coach or through personal turmoil. He will spend seven and a half months in British custody from April 2022 to December 2022 after being convicted in connection with his bankruptcy in London. The exceptional athlete talks about why Boris Becker is now looking forward, what he has learned from his experiences and why he is still passionate about the sport at 3nach9.
