Boris Becker became famous in 1985 when, at the age of seventeen, he became the youngest player to win the men's final at Wimbledon. He won two more Wimbledon titles as well as a total of forty-nine singles and fifteen doubles titles, making him one of the greatest players of the twentieth century.

In his autobiography, exceptionally honest and provocative, Boris Becker tells the true story behind the titles. He talks about the moments before his first serve at Wimbledon, and the minutes after his conviction as a tax evader. He discusses his marriage, his legitimate daughter, and his painful separation. He reveals his feelings at the end of his career, and his battles with drugs and alcohol.

He also shares his memories of the good times, the championship victories, the matches that made a difference, and the highs and lows of his life on the international circuit. Boris Becker wrote this autobiography not only for his fans but also for his children, so that one day they may read the true account of their father's remarkable and often controversial life.
