Boris Becker won a total of six Grand Slam singles titles throughout his career. He won three Wimbledon Championships, two Australian Opens, and one US Open. He amassed an impressive 64 titles overall, including an Olympic gold medal in doubles in 1992.

Becker's first Grand Slam title win came at the 1985 Wimbledon Championships when he defeated Kevin Curren 6–3, 6–7(4), 7–6(3), 6–4 in the final. With this win, he became the first unseeded player and the first German to claim a Wimbledon singles title.

The following year, Becker successfully defended his title at the 1986 Wimbledon Championships when he triumphed over Ivan Lendl 6–4, 6–3, 7–5. Three years later, in 1989, Becker secured his third Major title overall and final Wimbledon title when he beat defending champion Stefan Edberg 6–0, 7–6(1), 6–4.

Boris Becker went on to win his lone US Open title (his fourth overall) in 1989 after beating Lendl in four sets in the final. He then won his first Australian Open title in 1991 when he overcame Lendl once again with a hard-fought 1–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–4 in the final.

Five years later, the former World No. 1 claimed his second Australian Open championship. This time, he defeated Michael Chang with a commanding 6–2, 6–4, 2–6, 6–2 performance in the final. This victory marked the German's sixth and final singles Major title.
