The German has not handed over his glittering career’s “most important and valuable” memorabilia, including his 1991 and 1996 Australian Open trophies, Southwark Crown Court was told on Tuesday. He claimed the missing trophies are “not of significant value” or “great interest” to him and that “items were in various locations around the world”, the jury was told.
He used the business account as a “piggy bank” to pay personal expenses, such as his children’s school fees, and to shop at luxury London department store Harrods, online grocer Ocado, and designer clothes retailer Ralph Lauren, the court was told. Becker, who won 49 singles titles in 77 finals during his 16 years as a professional tennis player, is being supported in court by his partner Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro.
