The three-time Wimbledon men바카라™s singles champion was deported from the UK in December 2022 after serving eight months of a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence for hiding ÂŁ2.5m of assets and loans in a bankruptcy fraud case.

Becker cannot return to the UK until October 2024 at the earliest following his deportation, but the 56-year-old German plans to return to the tournament he says is 바카라œin my DNA바카라 as soon as possible.

바카라œIt바카라™s a part of my life. It바카라™s in my DNA, you can바카라™t deny that.바카라
