Wimbledon 1985 - A German tennis fairy tale

It is July 7, 1985 when Germany gathers in front of the television. Boris Becker, 17-year-old Leimener, is in the Wimbledon final. As the youngest player of all time, as the first seedless. Until then, no German could have won the most important and most traditional tennis tournament in the world. Two weeks, seven games in which Becker wrote sports history.

Michael Mask and Boris Poscharsky bring the sensation to life again in a 60-minute documentary.

"I was born a second time on July 7, 1985, as the well-known Boris Becker," says Germany's best tennis player of all time right at the beginning of the film. It was a tough road to the transformed match ball in the final against Kevin Curren. Again and again Becker was on the verge of being out. A drama in seven acts and all seven opponents have their say.

In addition to Boris Becker's then coach and important confidant Günther Bosch, contemporary witnesses such as the then reporters Hans-Jürgen Pohmann and Rainer Deike as well as Andreas Maurer Becker describe the path from a talented tennis child to first successes, the victory in the dress rehearsal in Queens and the triumph as radiant Winner on the sacred lawn of Wimbledon.
