CTOnews.com, December 15 (Xinhua) Apple on Wednesday announced a new Apple TV+ documentary that will tell the story of legendary tennis player Boris Becker (Boris Becker). The documentary, which will be divided into two episodes, will be directed by Alex Gibney, the Oscar-winning director of Enron, as well as Oscar-winning producer John Battsek.

The series includes a variety of personal interviews with Becker, including an exclusive conversation with him the week he was sentenced. It also interviewed his immediate family members and tennis stars, including John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, Novak Djokovic, Matz Weyland and Michael Stitch.
