jailed last month for two and a half years for hiding £2.5million of assets and loans to avoid paying debts. The former world No.1 and BBC commentator, 54, was declared bankrupt on June 21 2017 - owing creditors almost £50million - over an unpaid loan of more than £3 million on his estate in Mallorca.The German, who has lived in the UK since 2012, is expected to serve half of his sentence behind bars.

Becker’s lawyer told journalists in Berlin that he has been transferred to the lower security category C Huntercombe prison near Henley-on-Thames, Oxon.Christian-Oliver Moser said: “It is a Category C prison, which means it has a low security level.”He was reportedly previously at the category B Wandsworth prison in south west London.

A UK Government source saying Becker met the criteria to be considered for deportation and his case would be considered in the usual way.The six-time Grand Slam champion would qualify for automatic deportation because he is a foreign national who is not thought to have British citizenship and has received a prison sentence of more than 12 months.He could appeal against the decision.Becker is said to be planning a book on his fall from grace.He’s keeping boredom at bay by writing a jail diary chronicling his court battle and downfall.A source said: “It’ll be a warts-and-all diary on how he got himself in such a troubling position and then what life is like in jail.“It will also focus on other things in his life.
