"Boris Becker: Rise and Fall" continues on ITV - when is it on TV?

Becker burst onto the Tennis scene as a teenager in 1985, becoming the youngest Wimbledon champion at just 17 years old, captivating the world with his powerful serve-and-volley style. His dominance continued, securing the Wimbledon title twice more in 1986 and 1989, solidifying his status as a tennis legend. 

However, as the series discovers, despite his on-court success, Becker's post-tennis life has been marred by turmoil. Financial mismanagement, including bankruptcy proceedings, and personal challenges have overshadowed his once-illustrious career, marking a stark contrast to his glory days on the Wimbledon courts.

With a repeat screening this evening of the first episode that premiered on the broadcaster last week (and available to stream on ITVX on demand), the second part of this two-episode series picks up after an expensive Miami divorce from his first wife following revelations that he had fathered a child outside the marriage marks the start of Becker's financial decline.

In the latest episode, two divorce attorneys, several women who were involved with Becker, including his estranged second wife Sharlely, and the prosecutor who handled his case for concealing more than two million pounds in assets were interviewed. Becker was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, but he was released after only seven months and deported to Germany.
