Boris Becker ’s son has been in contact with Novak Djokovic since the German has been in jail. 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 which Becker never won himself. Following his straight set victory over Aljaž Bedene in the French Open third round yesterday, Djokovic revealed a conversation he had with Becker's eldest son Noah, 28, and offered his support to the family.
“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,” the Serbian said. “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.” Becker also has three other children - Anna, 22, Elias, 22 and Amadeus, 12.
