World No. 1 says he is upset for his former coach, who’s been jailed for two and a half yearsNovak Djokovic: «I’m just heartbroken for Boris Becker. I pray for him» Boris Becker joined Serb’s team prior to 2014 tennis season. In their three years together, Djokovic won six Grand Slam titles. «I am just heartbroken, I mean, for him. Boris is a friend, long-time friend, a coach for three, four years, someone I consider close in my life and has contributed a lot to my success in my career, - admits Djokovic on Media Day in Madrid. - I was just heartbroken. I mean, don't know what to say more than that». According to BBC News, former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has been jailed for two and a half years for hiding £2.5m worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts. The 54-year-old six-time Grand Slam champion was found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act. The case centred on Becker's bankruptcy in June 2017 resulting from an unpaid loan of more than £3m on his luxury estate in Mallorca, Spain. Judge Deborah Taylor said he had shown no remorse or acceptance of guilt. «I'm not going to get into details of the verdict, because I'm not in a position to do that, but as his friend, you know, I'm super sad for him, says Djokovic. - It's not much that you can say. I just hope he will go through this period that he has to be in jail and that when he comes out he's, you know, being able to live his life as, I don't know if we'll use the word "normal," because the life is definitely changing for anybody going to prison, especially for that long of a time. So I don't know how things will turn out for him. I just pray for him. I hope things will be well in terms of his health, his mental health, because that's going to be the most challenging part». >>> Novak Djokovic says ATP might protect Wimbledon points for Russian and Belarusian players: “Probably it’s the more realistic option” Website BTU - Ukrainian Tennis - joins the fundraising to help internally displaced persons in Dnipropetrovsk Region
