After a tumultuous 2022, Boris Becker (57), the renowned German tennis legend, will chronicle his remarkable stint in British prisons in a new, upfront memoir. With a scheduled release date of September 10, 2023, the book titled "Inside" promises an unabashed exploration of this unconventional phase in Becker's life. This revelation unfolded on his Instagram account.
Echoes of Prison Echo in Becker's Dreams
In a poignant Facebook post, Becker reflects on the ordeal, stating, "I braved diving into one of the most tormenting experiences of my life, encountering memories I wish to erase, haunting dreams that persist, and emotions I never expected to endure. Writing was my means to heal, seek meaning, and ultimately embrace this experience."
"Honest, Unfiltered, and Uncensored"
Famously sentenced to a 2.5-year jail term in London in April 2022, Becker served roughly seven months in both Wandsworth and Huntercombe prisons. He is determined to shed light on his prison experiences— "honest, unfiltered, and uncensored", as rhetorically branded on his Instagram.
Becker anticipates that "this raw, truthful narrative shall resonate with individuals beyond the tennis community and move hearts that understand the journey of falling and rising again."
Following his prison sentence, Becker's fortunes appeared to be on the upswing. He recently featured on the survival show "Bear Hunt - Die Promi-Jagd" ("Celebrity Bear Hunt") and kickstarted a podcast named "Becker Petrovic" alongside former tennis pro Andrea Petkovic (37) in January this year.
In his personal life, Becker found solace with Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro (34), who considerably lent him support throughout his prison stint. The couple tied the knot in a glamourous ceremony in Portofino, Italy, in September 2024, marking Becker's third wedding.
