Boris Becker is in prison during Wimbledon.

His ex-protégé Novak Djokovic announces the visit of Becker's sons Noah and Elias.

London – Boris Becker is experiencing what is probably his most difficult time since he entered prison.

The traditional tennis tournament in Wimbledon has been running since the beginning of this week.

Becker is doomed from prison to watch his heirs perform in his "living room" on the sacred lawn of Church Road.

One of his successors is undoubtedly Novak Djokovic, whom Becker trained for three successful years.

While Becker triumphed three times at Wimbledon, Djoker even won six times (all previous winners of the tennis tournament).

The Serb wants to defend his title from last year these days.

Becker's girlfriend Lillian de Carvalho Monteiro and son Noah were guests in the spectator box for support in the first two rounds of the Grand Slam tournament.

"I was really happy to have his girlfriend and son Noah as guests in my first two rounds," said Djokovic after his clear second-round victory over Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis (6: 1, 6: 4, 6: 2) on Wednesday.

Becker is being held in Huntercombe Prison in Nuffield, just 70 kilometers west of his adopted home of London.

"Noah and his younger brother Elias will be visiting Boris in the coming days for the first time since he went to prison," revealed the 35-year-old.

Becker's eldest son Noah and his girlfriend Lily de Carvalho saw Djokovic's victories on Monday and Wednesday in his box on Center Court. He has no direct contact with his ex-coach, "but I communicate with him through them," said Djokovic.

He tries to "support the people around him, his closest people, his family members, because I consider Boris myself a family member who I value very much, who I respect and who I care about," said Djokovic, who was once with Becker had experienced successful years as a coach on the tour with a total of six Grand Slam titles.

"He knows and they know that they can always count on me for support or help," Djokovic said.

“Of course it breaks my heart to see what is happening to him.

I can only imagine how difficult it is for his family members.

It is of course a small gesture of friendship to invite her.”

At the end of April, Becker was sentenced to two and a half years in prison at Southwark Crown Court in London, the second half of which is expected to be suspended.

He had concealed assets worth millions from his insolvency administrators.
