TENNIS LEGEND BORIS BECKER IN TROUBLE

Boris Becker
For a man who amassed tens of millions after first winning Wimbledon at just 17, it must have been tough to be declared
bankrupt over a £3.34 million debt owed to a private bank.  This is despite being the fifth-highest on-court earner in tennis history.

There have even been reports of unpaid debts in his native Germany.  According to our sources, Becker, 49, is yet to pay a bill of £2,235 from the clergyman who conducted his marriage to the second Mrs Becker in St. Moritz eight years ago.


Mr. & Mrs Becker

The marital situation of the twice-married, three-time Wimbledon champion could not have helped matters.  His divorce from Barbara, his first wife, was reported to have cost him £12.5 million in cash, £2.4 million in fees and their matrimonial home in Miami.  There was also a payout of £2.4 million after he fathered a daughter with a Russian model Angela Ermakova.
