Book review : The Player by Boris Becker

Boris Becker has always been my favourite tennis player. Those childhood days of following Becker and Steffi Graf, that too, in the non-internet days, were the best days of my life. So, have always been curious about what is this guy made of - A champion tennis player, a polarizing personality in his home country Germany, a womanizer, a family man, a tax evader, a multi-millionaire?
It was wonderful to get a glimpse of his mind through this autobiography. He has been quite honest and hasn't shied away from talking about the controversial parts of his life. Enjoyed reading this one, though I wish he had talked more in detail about how it was to play those 7 Wimbledon finals, what exactly went through his mind in critical moments during those matches, because in his own words, losing 4 Wimbledon finals was four too much.
A very interesting read from a champion player!
