Boris Becker's girlfriend and son came to watch Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon
The recently jailed former coach, Boris Becker's girlfriend and son were recently spotted at Wimbledon watching Novak Djokovic win the second round. Lily de Carvalho and Becker's son, Noah, were in Djokovic's player box watching him play the Wimbledon. When asked about their presence, Djokovic said, "Of course, it breaks my heart to see what's happening to him. I can only imagine how hard it is for his family members. So, this is a little gesture of friendship to invite them. He knows, and they know that they can always count on me for whatever support or help I can provide."
Becker was jailed earlier this year on the fraud charge in a 2017 bankruptcy case for over two years. Djokovic tells the press that he is very close to Becker's family, and they know he'll always be there to help them in whatever way possible. He said that he greatly respects him and is doing his best to provide love, support and care to his family members and close friends.
