Right on time before the start of a Grand Slam tournament, tennis is at its greatest. This applies not only on, but also off the pitch. And so it is not surprising that Boris Becker has hit the headlines again. Because it was precisely at this time that Becker had to appear in London for a bankruptcy hearing.
As reported by the Daily Mail a few days ago in its online edition, Becker violated a total of 19 conditions after his bankruptcy in 2017. Among other things, the German tennis icon would not have indicated some assets (cash and real estate) in the proceedings in a not inconsiderable amount. Should he be found guilty by a court on all of these 19 points, Becker allegedly faces up to seven years in prison. The three-time Wimbledon winner had already rejected the allegations at the end of September.
On Friday, BILD reported on the allegations against Becker. Including some pictures that show Boris Becker visiting a London restaurant. In a tense mood, so the interpretation of the BILD. In any case, Becker didn't like the article. Which is why he also addressed the editor-in-chief via Twitter.
Becker will do his job again at Eurosport on Sunday: as an expert for the French Open, the last Grand Slam tournament of the year.
