Former World Number one tennis player Boris Becker

Boris Becker is a former world number one tennis player, whose trophy-laden career includes 43 titles and 6 grand slams. He is most famous for being the youngest player to win the Wimbledon at the age of 17, and is currently the coach of Serbian ace and world number one Novak Djokovic.

However, the German hotshot fell foul of the courts in the year 2002, when he had been sentenced to two years' probation by a Munich court for failing to pay millions of Euros in German taxes.

Describing it as ‘his most important victory‘, the tennis star only narrowly avoided a three-and-a-half year jail sentence.
