Boris Becker goes on trial in London on Monday over charges relating to his bankruptcy - the latest twist in the six-time Grand Slam champion's troubled post-playing career.

Becker will stand trial at Southwark Crown Court accused of concealing his Wimbledon and Australian Open trophies, several properties and around $2.3 million.

At the time of his bankruptcy in June 2017, the German's debts were estimated at up to £50m. He faces a maximum of seven years in prison if found guilty.
