Boris Becker declared bankrupt by British Court

(UDHAYAM, LONDON) – The Court made the declaration after the former German tennis star failed to pay a long-standing debt.

Former German tennis star Boris Becker was declared bankrupt by a British Court on Wednesday (21) after the former tennis player failed to pay a long-standing debt.

A lawyer for the six-time Grand Slam Champion pleaded with a Bankruptcy Court registrar in London for a last chance to pay a debt that Becker has owed to private bankers Arbuthnot Latham & Co. since 2015.

The Registrar, Christine Derrett, said there was a lack of credible evidence that his debt would be paid soon. She refused to adjourn the case for a further 28 days and announced a bankruptcy order.

“One has the impression of a man with his head in the sand,” said the Registrar, who said she watched Becker play on Centre Court at Wimbledon.

The 49-year-old Becker, who was born in Germany and lives in London, recently coached Novak Djokovic and has been a TV commentator.

Briggs also said Becker was “not a sophisticated individual when it comes to finances,” and that bankruptcy was likely to have an adverse effect on Becker’s image.

“He should have thought about that a long time ago,” the Registrar said.
