Boris Becker to be 'dropped from BBC's Wimbledon coverage after being banned from UK'

Boris Becker is set to be dropped from next year's BBC 's coverage of Wimbledon as a result of his deportation to Germany and ban from UK return, it has been reported.

The three-time Wimbledon champion was freed from prison this week and deported back to his native Germany. He had been sentenced to two-and-a-half-years imprisonment in April this year after being found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act relating to his bankruptcy.

Becker has lived in the UK since 2012 and had been expected to serve half of his sentence. However, the 55-year-old qualified for automatic deportation due to being a foreign national who does not have British citizenship.
