Bankrupt Boris Becker Auction Raises Approximately 687,000 Pounds

An online auction of 82 of the trophies and other memorabilia of bankrupt German tennis legend Boris Becker notched approximately £687,000 ($860,000), according to the company dealing with his bankruptcy.

The 51-year-old six-time Grand Slam winner was declared bankrupt two years ago and his debts could total as much as £50million although that could be reduced significantly if several claims are dismissed.

A replica of the 1989 US Open trophy -- when Becker beat Ivan Lendl -- realised the highest price of £150,250 in the auction which was extended by several hours due to last-minute bids.
