It was a confusing time in my life, a really bad day at the office.

It's silly to say it about a tennis player, but I'm an unbelievable hero in Germany. And Germany needs heroes more than any place.
Boris Becker

So this is it. Match point for eternity.

Tennis is a psychological sport, you have to keep a clear head. That is why I stopped playing.
Boris Becker

That's the hard part about sport: as men we haven't started to be in our prime, but as athletes we are old people. I needed support. I lost trust and did stupid things.
Boris Becker

The eyes of some of the fans at Davis Cup matches scare me. There's no light in them. Fixed emotions. Blind worship. Horror. It makes me think of what happened to us long ago.
Boris Becker

The suit-and-tie job is very nice but it's not really who I am in my heart.
Boris Becker

When I was a child, I had posters of James Dean in my room. I was a big admirer of his work and was fascinated by him living on the edge. Looking back, my life was kind of the same.
Boris Becker

Boris Becker

Where do you go when you're the best in the world? What's next?
