Until he is scouted by coach Günther Bosch, who sees the diamond in the rough for what he is: a star in waiting! He becomes his mentor and hires a new manager, Ion Tiriac. With their help, Boris finally plays the legendary courts of Wimbledon – and he’s a winner!

Trivia
In one earlier training scene Boris Becker is playing against a blonde girl named Steffi. It suppose to be the famous German tennis player Steffi Graf. She was 19 months younger and Becker had indeed to play against her and other girls as part of punishment for his bad tennis playing. In the late 80s Becker thanked Graf in a public letter for this and expressed his admiration.
Critics
