Wimbledon champion Boris Becker declared bankrupt
21 June 2017 Business
Three-time Wimbledon tennis champion Boris Becker has been declared bankrupt by a London bankruptcy court.
The 49-year-old owed a firm of private bankers a large sum and the court registrar said there was not enough credible evidence that he could pay.
Mr Becker's lawyers asked for a final chance to pay with the funds from remortgaging a property in Majorca.
Mr Becker, now a coach and TV pundit for the BBC and other media, was not at the hearing in London.
Registrar Miss Christine Derrett said it was "with regret" that she came to the conclusion that he could not pay.
