According to reports, German tennis legend Boris Becker has been released from prison after serving eight months of his sentence and now faces deportation from the UK.

The 55-year-old German, who has lived in Britain since 2012, was released on Thursday morning ahead of his deportation, according to media reports.

The three-time Wimbledon champion was jailed for 30 months in April for hiding £2.5 million of assets and loans to avoid paying his debts.

The former world number one was declared bankrupt in June 2017.
