Boris Becker isn't buying the bankruptcy ruling against him in a London court.
The former world No. 1 took to Twitter to offer his side of the story in his bankruptcy case.

The 49-year-old Becker said he was "surprised and disappointed" by the proceedings and insists he can repay the debt.
"Surprised and disappointed that Arbuthnot Latham chose to bring these proceedings against me," Becker wrote on Twitter, regarding the bankruptcy application made by banker Arbuthnot Latham & Co over a loan Becker owes. "This order relates to 1 disputed loan which I was due to repay in full in 1 month time! It is disappointing that my request for today's hearing to be postponed was refused.
"My earnings are well publicized and it was a clear that I have the means to repay this debt."
Becker's attorney, John Briggs, asked for an extension for the former Wimbledon champion to complete a deal to sell a property in Mallorca worth a reported 6 million Euros, the BBC reports.
"He is not a sophisticated individual when it comes to finances," Briggs told the court. "I am asking for a real last chance for Mr. Becker to come good. It has just taken longer than anticipated."
Presiding judge Christine Derrett denied the request saying there was not enough evidence the former star could pay his debts.
"In these circumstances, and with a degree of regret, I'm afraid that I do not agree to the request for an adjournment," Derrett said in comments published by the Daily Mail. "I am therefore satisfied that the necessary papers are in order and I make this bankruptcy order."
The judge, who said she recalled watching Becker play on Wimbledon's Centre Court, "which probably shows my age," also took a subtle shot at the Hall of Famer, who has owed a debt to Arbuthnot Latham for two years.
"It is not often the case that a professional person has a judgment (debt) outstanding against them since October 2015. This is a historic debt," Derrett said. "One has the impression of a man with his head in the sand."
