Boris Becker Having Troubles Off The Tennis Court

The famous red-haired German has, according to sources close to him, lost a tremendous sum of money in failed Internet startups and now faces a nasty divorce from wife and model Barbara Feltus.

During a very recent attempt to reconcile their differences in Miami over the holidays, the get-together ended in a vicious argument that saw Feltus strike Becker and had the tennis star retreating to the couple's Fisher Island mansion. Meanwhile, Feltus remained in Florida with the couple's two children.

Becker then flew back to Germany, where probes into his tax affairs has not affected his celebrity status, and will reportedly file for divorce in his home country to gain the upper hand in the legal proceedings. Barbara, who readily admits to spending money freely, will fight to keep the court battle in the states, where she has a greater chance of gouging Becker for half his earnings. Feltus is apparently furious over her husband's alleged affair with a Russian model who claims to have given birth to Becker's baby.

Becker is apparently depressed by this turn of events, which has come soon after the death of his father and some nasty tax probe events that he would rather forget.
