Boris Becker appears downcast the day after his 53rd birthday as he puffs on a cigarette during solo walk by the river in London amid legal woes

Boris Becker looked a little downcast as he took a solo stroll the day after his 53rd birthday.

The bankrupt tennis ace – who appeared to flout lockdown earlier this month, and will face a court case next year accused of concealing funds – appeared reflective as he wrapped up against the autumn chill.

He was seen puffing on a cigarette as he walked along the embankment in Battersea Park.

Boris wore a large black coat with a fur hood over a Black Lives Matter sweater.

He added baggy grey sweatpants to the get-up, wearing both his sweater hood up, and a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes.

He was unshaven and wore trainers to round off the casual ensemble.

Boris was headed to upmarket Bayley and Sage where he shopped for groceries before heading home.

Boris appeared to break quarantine rules after a visit to Dubai earlier this month, after he was filmed by his friend during his visit.

He then returned to London, and was spotted enjoying a stroll around Hyde Park with his girlfriend Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro.

He was also seen stepping out to visit the C restaurant in London, where he stayed for two hours despite lockdown restrictions.

Due to England’s second lockdown, restaurants are only allowed to be open for takeaway and visitors should not be allowed to dine in, and Boris was also seen entering the restaurant without a mask on.

Anti-pandemic rules mean he should have gone into quarantine for two weeks after returning from Dubai.

The three-time Wimbledon champion met his artist friend Neel Shukla during the trip.

A video posted on Shukla’s Instagram account on November 4 showed him with Becker inside the Etihad Museum, which explains the United Arab Emirates’ heritage.

Shukla said in the film: ‘I have brought such a special guest today to the Etihad Museum. Boris…I’m so honoured and proud to have you at the museum.’ 

In reply, Becker said the displays are ‘unbelievable’.

A few days later, the artist shared a photo of a dinner with Becker in Dubai.

Twice-wed father-of-four Becker, who has a home in Wimbledon, is due to stand trial next year after being accused of concealing funds during a bankruptcy hearing. 

He has sold his Spanish villa for around £4million to pay debts. 

The star’s spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.
