Bankrupt Boris Becker says some of his Wimbledon trophies are missing

Boris Becker, the former Wimbledon champion, admitted to a jury that he had no idea where his trophies are. As a hearing into his accused failure to register assets continues, the six-time Grand Slam winner told Southwark Crown Court that if he had access to them, he would hand them over "tomorrow."

Nevertheless, Mr Becker was declared bankrupt in 2017 and is accused of neglecting to register nine trophies and medals. However, he disputes all of the charges levelled against him.

"Not in a better position today"- Boris Becker

The former world number one told the court that he had sold his houses to aid with his financial position. He also said that he had "lots" of trophies and memorabilia from his career, but that some of them had vanished. "For the player, it's about winning the title. The trophy is not so much when you are playing," said Becker. "Nowadays I wish I have them to show to my children."

However, to pay off his debts, he auctioned off some of his trophies for £700,000. Besides this, he has issued many calls to locate those that have gone missing. Major tennis associations, halls of fame, and museums have all been approached, but Mr Becker said he is "not in a better position today" to reveal where they are.
