Boris Becker's Tennis: The making of a champion
I'ts a well written, lavishly illustrated book, a must for Becker fans. A word about the "missing" information about his African-American wife and his problems with the German "I.R.S." the reviewer from Nottingham can't find in this book: the book was published (in English) in 1987,
a few years before any of those topics and problems existed. He was a darn good tennis player and a great champion, with 6 Grand-Slam titles, 49 singles titles in all, a doubles Gold Medal from the Barcelona Olympics. He also helped Germany to win the Davis Cup a couple of times andhe was a great Role-Model to many people, young & old.

It's good but it's not good enough
It's all very well producing a book about Mr. Becker's tennis exploits, and granted, he was quite good, for a time, until his balls dropped, but I feel that a lot was missed from this oeuvre, which, had the publishers stopped to think, could have turned it into a big fat cash-cow.
For example, I, for one, would have liked to have read how Becker's relationship with his black partner threatened to undermine the very fabric of German society.
I'd have like there to have been a Boris' tips section, as well, in which Mr. Becker recounts the best ways to avoid tax fraud, and also his hints as to how to hide in a wardrobe.
An opportunity missed, quite frankly. ... Read more

Excerpt: Boris Franz Becker (born 22 November 1967) is a former World No. 1 professional tennis player from Germany. He is a six-time Grand Slam singles champion, an Olympic gold medalist, and the youngest-ever winner of the men's singles title at Wimbledon at the age of 17. Tennis Magazine put Becker in 18th place on its list of the 40 greatest tennis players from 1965 to 2005. Since he retired from the professional tour, media work and his personal life have kept him in the headlines. Becker was born in Leimen, West Germany, the only son of Elvira (née Pisch), who was raised in Czechoslovakia, and Karl-Heinz Becker. Becker was raised Catholic. His father, an architect, founded the tennis centre (Tennis-Club Blau-Weiß 1964 Leimen e. V.) in Leimen, where Boris learned the game. Boris turned professional in 1984 and won his first professional doubles title that year in Munich. As a West German teenager, Becker won his first top-level singles title in June 1985 at Queen's Club and then, two weeks later on 7 July, became the first unseeded player and the first German to win the Wimbledon singles title, defeating Kevin Curren in four sets. At the time, he was the youngest ever male Grand Slam singles champion at 17 years, 7 months (a record later broken by Michael Chang in 1989, who won the French Open when he was 17 years, 3 months). Two months after his triumph, Becker became the youngest winner of the Cincinnati Open. In 1986, Becker successfully defended his Wimbledon title, defeating World No. 1 Ivan Lendl in straight sets in the final. Becker, then ranked World No. 2, was upset in the second round of Wimbledon in 1987 by the World No. 70 player, Peter ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=201049 ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Franz Anton Beckenbauer (born 11 September 1945) is a German football coach, manager, and former player, nicknamed Der Kaiser ("The Emperor") because of his elegant style, his leadership, his first name "Franz" (reminiscent of the Austrian emperors), and his dominance on the football pitch. He is generally regarded as the greatest German footballer of all time and one of the greatest and most decorated footballers in the history of the game. Beckenbauer was a versatile player who started out as a midfielder but made his name as a defender. He is often credited as having invented the role of the modern sweeper or libero. Twice selected the European Footballer of the Year, he appeared 103 times for West Germany and played in three World Cups. He lifted the World Cup trophy as captain in 1974, and repeated the feat as a manager in 1990. With the club Bayern Munich, he won three consecutive European Cups from 1974 to 1976, and the Cup Winners' Cup in 1967. Beckenbauer is the only player to captain three European Cup winning sides. He went on to become coach and president of the institution. He is also a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame. In 1999, he was voted second place, behind Johan Cruyff, in the European player of the Century...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=152680 ... Read more

Nice read
This book is a good read. This is how an autobiography for a sportsperson should be written - AFTER he/she retires. Most people just write it in the middle of their careers and leaves the story ...well half finished. Boris does provide some honest insight into his life in this book more than his sport which is an interesting choice as one would expect sports to dominate most of the content. Every boom - boom fan should get hold of this one to get to know his life through his eyes first hand. Highly recommended.

Good Autobiography, But Not Too Exciting
Boris Becker is my favorite tennis player, period, so this was a must-read for me.It is pretty well written and does give you insight to his thinking and personal life.Many people here complain that there is not much about his tennis matches, well, not too many people would remember this or that match and would probably bore non-tennis fans to death.I mean, how boring is it to talk about a tennis match with just words.I rather enjoy his story though.I thought it might have been better if it was in a more chronological order.Story moves out of time line and may confuse the reader.I also felt some parts seem repetitious and could be cut out.Part of the reason for some of its repetition is because it was out of chronological order and the writer feels a need to fit the events with previously discussed events just to give context.Compared to an average person, Becker definitely lives a rich and lively life with many beautiful women, riches beyond most people's reach, and exclusivity, exclusivity.Of course, there is a negative side: zero privacy, pressure from country and press, loneliness.But I doubt there will be any sympathizers as many people would see only the glamour, money, and fame.Still, I feel this is not interesting or exciting enough for a 300+ page book.Any A-list star would probably have a similar life if not more exciting.I just think for one to write an autobiography, there should be something different and telling that the reader would not been able to read from any other autobiography.Such is not the case here.Becker is quite an exciting player on the tennis court in terms of skill and personality which rivals an Agassi or McEnroe, but his personal life is a dud.

Just Like Boris!!
A very good Autobiogrpahy from one of the great players of the Open Era. Boris is candid, open and as always opinionated. Interesting observations about Lendl, Edberg and other contemporaries! Recommended!

Read if you are interested in his personal life and not tennis
It's much more about his personal life and business pursuits than tennis. The extent to which he has burned out on the game really comes through in the lack of interest he seems to have in writing about it. Few matches get any more than a sentence or two. Pretty disappointing.

Becker's side of the story.
I found the book pretty interesting. I was a major Becker fan back in my teens & as such I've heard so many stories about him over the years. Problem was none of the stories involved his side or his view of the events. So I enjoyed learning about the events from the major player's point of view. He is a gentlemen about his relationships with women, including the mother of his daughter out of wedlock. I respect that, in today's "Jerry Spring" environment it would have been easy for him to get too personal or [...] to try & increase sales & he refrained from that. I hope Becker finds the happiness that seems to have eluded him all these years. (But if your looking for pictures the only ones in the book are on the front & back cover)Good book overall. ...

Excerpt: Stefanie Maria Graf (born June 14, 1969, in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, West Germany) is a former World No. 1 female tennis player from Germany. Graf won 22 Grand Slam singles titles, second among male and female players only to Margaret Court's 24. She is the only player to have won all four Grand Slam singles tournaments (Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open and the Australian Open) at least four times each. In 1988, Graf became the first and only tennis player (male or female) to achieve the Calendar Year Golden Slam by winning all four Grand Slam singles titles and the Olympic gold medal in the same calendar year. Graf was ranked World No. 1 by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) for a record 377 total weeksthe longest of any player, male or female, since the WTA and the Association of Tennis Professionals began issuing rankings. She also holds the open era record for finishing as the year-end World No. 1 the most times, having done so on eight occasions. She won 107 singles titles, which ranks her third on the WTA's all-time list after Martina Navratilova (167 titles) and Chris Evert (154 titles). A notable feature of Graf's game was her versatility across all playing surfaces. She won six French Open singles titles (second to Evert) and seven Wimbledon singles titles (third behind Navratilova and Helen Wills Moody).
