Boris Becker will reportedly remain banned from next year's Wimbledon despite coaching Holger Rune, the current world No.6.<\/p>\n
Becker was jailed for two-and-a-half years in April 2022, after he was found guilty of hiding \u00a32.5million in assets and loans to avoid paying debts. However, Becker was released early after serving just eight months of his sentence.<\/p>\n
As part of the deal for his early release, Becker is currently banned from entering the UK. This means the tennis megastar won't be able to coach Rune at Wimbledon next summer and during the 2025 edition, according to the Standard.<\/p>\n
