Podcast Sitting in the prison classroom each morning reading the pages in my book listening
to the teacher I could feel myself slowing down. I had achieved greatness. I had won three
Wimbledon titles two Aussie Opens the US Open two Davis Cups an Olympic gold medal. But
where was I now? Either I was some strange exception a great man surrounded by lesser men or
I was not an exception at all. I fitted right in. And if I did why was that? 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. 'It's a
memoir it's a thriller it's a confessional it's therapy. This book is unbelievable [and]
beautifully written. It couldn't be a crazier story...it's so gripping I could not put it
down.' Chris Evans
