Boris Franz Becker (Leimen, 22 novembre 1967) è un ex tennista tedesco. Soprannominato Bum Bum per l'esplosività del servizio e l'abilità nel serve-and-volley, è il più giovane vincitore nella storia del Torneo di Wimbledon maschile, avendolo vinto per la prima volta a 17 anni (confermandosi campione del torneo l'anno seguente). Ha vinto in totale 6 tornei del Grande Slam, 3 ATP Finals, 2 Coppe Davis, 2 World Team Cup, una Hopman Cup ed è stato numero uno al mondo. Tra il 2013 e il 2016 è stato allenatore di Novak Đjoković. Ha avuto, agli inizi della carriera, uno straordinario impatto a livello mediatico, non solo per la precocità, ma anche per essere stato il primo tennista a saper associare, con grande efficacia, la potenza dei colpi, tipica del tennis moderno, alla raffinatezza del tennis classico ed è considerato uno dei più forti tennisti di sempre sulle superfici rapide, avendo disputato 7 finali al Torneo di Wimbledon e vinto 49 tornei. È l'unico tennista della storia ad aver vinto due tornei del Grande Slam prima di compiere i 19 anni ed è stato inserito nella International Tennis Hall of Fame nel 2003.
