Boris Becker buys Harrods hold-all and visits council flat before being sentenced over bankruptcy

Tennis ace Boris Becker was pictured buying a Harrods hold-all, while he also visited a London council flat ahead of his sentencing over his recent bankruptcy case. At the beginning of the month, Becker was found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act, and faces up to seven years in jail.

The German star was convicted of hiding a number of assets, including nearly £700,000, 75,000 shares in a tech firm and some of his most prized tennis titles - including two Wimbledon trophies. During his illustrious playing career, Becker earned nearly £40million.

The 54-year-old has fallen into financial trouble in recent years and was officially declared bankrupt in 2017 over an unpaid loan of more than £3 million on his estate in Mallorca, Spain.
