The Rise and Fall of Boris Becker on SBS – This is the inside story of how three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker, one of the world’s greatest sporting icons, ended up in a British jail.
It goes beyond the tennis and the headlines to reveal the real Becker through the eyes of those closest to him – many speaking to us exclusively and for the first time.
These include his estranged second wife, Sharlely Becker, former fiancée Alessandra Meyer-Woelden and ex-girlfriend Caroline Rocher.
Series One, Episode One
We follow Becker from his childhood as the star of the dusty tennis courts of Leimen, his small hometown in Germany, to winning Wimbledon at the age of only 17.
His stunning, and completely unexpected victory in 1985 made him as famous as a rock star. The offers and the money flooded in and so controversially, did the women.
The Rise and Fall Of Boris Becker – New Series Premiere – Wednesday, 2 August at 8.30pm on SBS and SBS on Demand (2 Parts)
