BORIS BECKER: THE RISE AND FALL
From Thursday 13 July, ITVX Factual
Boris Becker became the youngest Wimbledon champion in the tournament’s history when he won the title at the age of 17 in 1985.
It was the start of a spectacular tennis career, yet his life has unravelled since he hung up his racquet in 1999.
After going bankrupt in 2017, last year he was convicted of failing to hand over assets to repay debts and served eight months in Wandsworth prison.
His story is told in a new two-part documentary series, which features interviews with those who knew him best.
