Ex-tennis champion Boris Becker has dropped his claim to have diplomatic immunity from bankruptcy, BBC.com reported. The three-time Wimbledon winner had said that his appointment as a Central African Republic (CAR) diplomat gave him protection from any legal claims. Declared bankrupt in 2017 over money owed to bank Arbuthnot Latham, he was being pressed for "further assets." After a hearing in London, Becker abandoned his case and his bankruptcy has been extended indefinitely. His withdrawal means a planned auction of his trophies and memorabilia will go ahead.
