‘It’s the screaming that cuts you deepest, on your first night in prison. Screaming like someone is hurt. Like they need help. Like someone is dying.’

Wimbledon champion at 17, six-time Grand Slam winner and former world number one – Boris Becker achieved unparalleled success, fame and wealth throughout his tennis career. But in April 2022, everything changed when he was sentenced to 30 months in prison over bankruptcy charges.

Inside offers a raw and unflinching account of Becker’s life behind bars, detailing the brutal realities of surviving two of the UK’s toughest prisons and the unexpected lessons in resilience that kept him going. Stripped of fame and fortune, Becker faced an entirely new world as inmate A2923EV, where nothing came easy.

More than a story of survival, Inside is about profound transformation. With brutal honesty, Becker reflects on the choices that led him to prison, confronting his mistakes and the price of fame. Through new relationships, hard-learned survival skills and the philosophy of Stoicism, he embarks on the difficult journey of rebuilding his life and shattered reputation.

This is the story of a legend who lost it all – how he survived, started again and found light in life’s darkest moments.

About the Author

Born in Leimen, Germany, Becker's journey to tennis stardom is nothing short of remarkable. Bursting onto the tennis scene in the mid-1980s, he captivated the world with his powerful serve, lightning-fast reflexes and fearless playing style. At 17, he became the youngest Wimbledon champion in history, claiming the title in 1985 and sparking what would become a legendary career. Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, Becker continued to dominate the tennis world, capturing a total of six Grand Slam singles titles, including three Wimbledon championships. Beyond his individual achievements, Becker was a key member of the German Davis Cup team, helping lead his country to victory in 1988. His contributions to the sport earned him the respect and admiration of fans around the globe, and in 2003 he was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Following his retirement from professional tennis, Becker transitioned into coaching and commentating.
