Boris Becker has raised more than £680,000 ($767,000) in an online auction with the sale of his trophies and memorabilia.

The former German tennis player was declared bankrupt by a British court in 2017 in connection to a debt to private bankers Arbuthnot Latham & Co.

The items included his 1989 U.S. Open trophy, which attracted the highest bid of £150,250, a replica of the Davis Cup winners trophy, which was worth £52,100, and an international tennis hall of fame ring, as well as watches and playing clothes.
