Tennis star Boris Becker charged for allegedly hiding Grand Slam trophies during bankruptcy.
Boris Becker, a six-time Grand Slam champion and former No. 1 ranked player, has been charged with failing to hand over trophies and medals as part of his bankruptcy filing from 2017, the BBC reported.
Becker appeared in a London court on Thursday and faces a total of 28 charges, including for not turning over the hardware to pay debts. It includes Wimbledon and Australian Open trophies.
Becker faces new charges in failing to hand over trophies
Becker, 52, entered court already facing 19 charges for failure to comply with legal obligations to disclose information, per the Guardian. Nine more charges were added on Thursday alleging he hid the trophies and medals so they could not be sold.
One new charge relates to hiding the 1985 Wimbledon trophy, per the Guardian. Becker was the youngest Wimbledon men’s singles champion when he won it at the age of 17 years and seven months. He was also the first German and the first unseeded winner.
Another charge is for the 1989 Wimbledon trophy. He also won at Wimbledon in 1986.
Becker is also accused of hiding two President’s Cups (1985, 1989), a 1988 Davis Cup gold coin and 1989 Davis Cup trophy, both Australian Open trophies (1991, 1996) and a 1992 Olympic gold medal.
He won Germany an Olympic gold in men’s doubles with Michael Stich at the 1992 Barcelona games. He is also a winner at the U.S. Open (1989).

Becker pleaded not guilty to the original 19 criminal charges last month. The charges are for failing to disclose “money, property and debt between May and June 2017.”
He reportedly concealed property from the bankruptcy trustees by transferring money to individuals, including his former wife Barbara Becker and his estranged wife Sharlely “Lilly” Becker. He is alleged to have hid holding of shares in a firm called Breaking Data Corp.
Becker denies all 28 counts
The former 12-week No. 1 tennis star declared bankruptcy in June 2017 for debts owed to the bank. He spoke at the hearing on Thursday only to confirm his name, deny all 28 counts and say he understood he would face arrest if he didn’t appear for trial, per The Guardian.
The trial is scheduled for Sept. 13, 2021. He was released on bail.
“He is determined to face and contest these charges and restore his reputation in relation to the allegations made against him,” his lawyer Jonathan Caplan said via BBC Sports.
Becker entered the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2003. He has worked as a commentator on the BBC and coached current world No. 1 Novak Djokovic from 2013 to 2016, covering six Grand Slam titles.

Is it rude to demand your opponent be at the baseline to receive your serve if you are speeding up the process of serving like NO ONE in the history of the freaking sport?
That's like packing SUPER QUICKLY after a match @ Wimbledon (and stand there staring at your opponent while he packs) thereby demanding your opponent should hurry up too as the protocol demands both players leave together after the match?

Djokovic happiest player on the tour to not have fans attending matches?
Given his obsession with 'please, like me, I am begging you' BS, wouldn't it be FAR worse for him to have fans witness the following two events - first hand:
1. Default.
2. Bagel @ FO - in the opening freaking set. I mean, you got on the court to win the title - instead you lay an egg to START?
At least, Federer laid it in the third set when it was all over!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rafael Nadal |  SUI |
Roger Federer | 6–1, 6–3, 6–0 |

Djokovic is the only one who can COMPLETELY eliminate Federer from the GOAT debate - NO MATTER what anyone says? Duh!!!!
If he wins 20 Slams, wins one more WTF and passes Federer on the most weeks @ No. 1 pole, Federer has nowhere to hide.
Djokovic already has a winning H2H against Federer (and Nadal) and more Masters.
Nadal cannot accomplish the water tight extermination of Federer - NO MATTER what he does from now on?

Is this the best compliment for Nadal @ Roland Garros - so far?
After he wins 2020 FO, FIRST question asked around the globe was freaking this:
Who is going to beat Nadal next year?
Has that ever been asked of a 'who will be 35 years old' athlete before?
Or is that more an indictment of the next generation?

Why No. 13 from Nadal and his continued rampage @ Roland Garros is hurting Federer and Djokovic - big freaking time.
That MASSIVE asterisk they have on their Career Slam stat is gradually transforming into a state where the stat may be (already is?) completely deleted from their resume - once and for all - for TWO reasons:
1. You won when Nadal 'wasn't' there.
2. And when he was there, he not only humiliated you - in straight sets - but also dished a bagel.

Djokovic: 1-7.
