The career beginnings of tennis ace BORIS BECKER are to be documented in a new TV movie.
The film will focus on the German sports star’s childhood and the road to his record-breaking triumph at the Wimbledon final in 1985.
Becker became the first unseeded player to win the tournament and the youngest ever men’s singles victor at the age of 17, a record he still holds.
He tells the BBC, “There’s a right time for everything in life… Now, on the 30th anniversary of my first big win, it seems the time has come to tell the story in a movie.”
Becker retired from professional tennis in 1999 and currently coaches world number one Novak Djokovic.
