Boris Becker Rise and Fall (ITV)

Quite interesting - two parter

Seems like everything outside of the tennis court was a right mess. They seem to have focused on that.

A bit sad really, 1985 was the first Wimbledon final I watched. i guess when you win Wimbledon at 17 the only way is down.

I watched most of the first one because I was interested to see his early career which I'm old enough to remember. Then lost interest with the stuff about girlfriends.

it would have been nice to see a bit more tennis, the only clips they showed were 1985 and a later loss to Masur at the AO
He had an epic rivalry with Edberg which they skipped over

Michael Stich (fellow German) annihilated him in the 1991 Wimbledon final but has never had the same profile

I watched both episodes.
He comes across as arrogant, selfish and a liar.
Great tennis player,not a great person
