Boris Becker has ended his effort to claim diplomatic immunity from bankruptcy.
The former world No. 1 had been claiming his status as a Central African Republic diplomat provided him protection over bankruptcy.
Watch: Fiercest Feuds of 2018
The Hall of Famer was declared bankrupt by a London Bankruptcy and Companies Court last year.
Becker, who reportedly owes a private British banking firm Arbuthnot Latham about $4.2 million, is also facing a $40 million lawsuit filed by a former business partner.
Following a London hearing, Becker dropped his diplomatic immunity claim and his bankruptcy has been extended indefinitely, the BBC reports.
The move means an auction including some of Becker's championship trophies and gear he used during his playing career can proceed.
The three-time Wimbledon champion earned more than $25 million and won six Grand Slam titles in his standout career.
Bad business investments, a Dubai development project that went bust, a paternity suit, expensive real estate investments, a tax evasion fine and divorce settlements have cost the German legend, who has also been coping with a divorce from wife Lilly.
In his autobiography, “The Player”, Becker also revealed he battled an addiction to alcohol and sleeping pills at one point during his career and fell into depression after the death of his beloved father.
