Former tennis star Boris Becker is to marry his Dutch girlfriend Lilly Kerssenberg in the luxury Swiss resort of St Moritz later this week. On June 12, the three-time Wimbledon champion is set to go to the altar for his second wedding.

According to the ATS news agency, Becker, 41, will proclaim his vows to Kerssenberg – nine years his junior – at the Regina Pacis chapel in Suvretta, a ski resort within St. Moritz. The hamlet is a popular haunt for celebrities, who often stay in luxury chalets and top hotels during winter and summer months.

After the service, 200 invited guests are expected to attend the reception at Badrutt’s Palace, a five-star hotel in St. Moritz amongst the mountains and next to Lake Sankt Moritzersee, ATS reported.
