Novak Djokovic has offered some assistance to the family of former coach Boris Becker after the German was jailed for hiding assets during bankruptcy proceedings.
The world number one was coached by the 54-year-old for three seasons and it was a very successful partnership, as Djokovic won six Grand Slam titles and 14 Masters 1000 titles between 2014-2016. One of those victories came at the French Open six years ago – the only Grand Slam singles title that Becker never won himself.
Asked about becker following his win over Bedene, Djokovic admitted:
“I’ve been in touch with one of his sons, Noah, asking if there is something that I can do to help and be there for his family members. I can’t get to him but it’s terrible, I don’t know what to say. It’s very sad that someone I know so well and someone that is a legend of our sport, is going through what he is going through.”
Earlier this month, Djokvoic also said:
"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, I'm super sad for him. 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 able to live his life."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
