Novak Djokovic ‘heartbroken’ for Boris Becker after jailing of former coach

[tex123]

The photos don't look THAT bad. When I hear the word squalid, I think of 19th century masonry, rats and other vermin, non-flushing toilets and the like. What do "nicer" prisons have nowadays? Jacuzzi's and private bedrooms?

Not jacuzzis but private bedrooms yes.

Most luxurious prison cells in the world

When you think of prison, we are sure images of iron bars, gloomy corridors, poor food, and a general sense of despondency come to mind. But what if we tell you that this isn’t the case in all prisons? In fact, there are institutions around the world that are the polar opposite of what I […]...

Never heard of the country Burma. Care to explain please, gentleman?

Get out more or read a bit of history maybe? World does not revolve around where you live.

 

[llgtennislegend]

so what's novak doing about it ? if i were him, i would send a personal chef to prison to cook for boris every night

 

[Enceladus]

Never heard of the country Burma. Care to explain please, gentleman?

It is the country of politician and Nobel Peace Prize holder Aung San Suu Kyi.

 

[Pinocchio]

I wanna see Becker serve his sentence in the Tower of London!

 

[Mainad]

I wanna see Becker serve his sentence in the Tower of London!

And become a tourist attraction?

Think even Wandsworth would be preferable.

 

[Gt86]

You're defending him and and attacking the judge??

Yes absolutely. The UK for the past 5 years has collapsed integrity wise within the courts and in Parliament. I could tell you all sorts of verified stuff to back this up. Boris Becker is not in any way worse than pretty much the entire UK Parliament regarding his tax affairs. And that Judge you refer to, all I can say is do some research into her. Will cost a bit but it's worth it to get an insight.
The idea that Judges are beyond all scrutiny is the most daft naive part of global society for centuries.

 

[norcal]

Dang, in the US a high profile white collar criminal would be sent to a minimum security prison and do relatively 'easy' time. Sucks for Boris.

So the judge is at fault and not Boris?

 

[Sudacafan]

Please compare with this statement:

Andy Murray: I have no sympathy for Boris Becker - he broke the law

Truth hurts some people Is that you Tsitsipas?

I think @Gt86 is making a point that the overall system's corrupt there. The judge Deborah, in this case, is just an "ironic tool" of the legal network there.

 

[Visionary]

I wanna see Becker serve his sentence in the Tower of London!

and I wanna see Becker serve his game in the tennis court for all the ones who want to learn how to serve; a community service is a better example of the justice system for those cases than a punishing one. Don't we all want to benefit from the decisions of our powers?

 

[wangs78]

Saying one is heart broken is generally meaningless unless there is some follow up action. I've heard US presidents say "our hearts go out to" the victims of mass shootings so many times. It took me a while (as I was a kid the first time I heard such words) to realize the words meant... nothing.

So the system, the judge, the courts are all at fault and not Boris? Were the German courts corrupt when they gave him a suspended sentence for similar offences back in 2002? Were they too the ones at fault and not Boris?

Your conclusion's too one-sided while the whole issue very complex. Besides, you lack ampathy and will to understand what the poster's suggestion is.

The issue is simple. Boris is a liar and a cheat and broke multiple laws in multiple jurisdictions. He was indulged in this far more than most.

You'd rather sling mud at the people finally enforcing the law.

 

[Visionary]

yeah right!

 

[Mainad]

Your conclusion's too one-sided while the whole issue very complex. Besides, you lack ampathy and will to understand what the poster's suggestion is.

I understand that Boris fraudulently declared bankruptcy while deliberately hiding assets to defraud his creditors and it was the second time he did so after being convicted for similar offences back in Germany in 2002 (for which he then received a suspended prison sentence). Whatever hypocrisy may be evident elsewhere does not excuse Boris' culpability and apparent inability to learn from past misdeeds.

I am second to none in my admiration for Boris as a tennis great and one of Wimbledon's greatest ever champions and have already said that I hope he will eventually be allowed to serve his sentence in an Open Prison but he got what he deserved and it is disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

agree .

There are some countries where Supreme Court Lawyers/Judges are more communal/casteist/racist /corrupt than the rabid illiterate corrupt politicians .

He was convicted by a jury and sentenced by the judge according to the law. Both sides presented their arguments and he was found guilty. Which part of that do you not understand? The law also affords him the right to appeal. The sentence can be referred to attorney general for review if it is unduly lenient or harsh as well. Judges are regulated by the Lord Chancellor.

 

[Bender]

Boris is in a really lousy prison too:

Endemic violence, rampant drug abuse and inmates who are locked in their cells for 22 hours a day: Life inside the crumbling Victorian prison Boris Becker will now call home that's just two miles from Wimbledon's Centre Court

• The ex-Wimbledon champion was jailed and sent to Wandsworth Prison on Friday for two-and-a-half years
• Squalid prison, crammed with more than 1,300 inmates, regularly described as one of UK's worst jails
• A report this year revealed a jail blighted by drug abuse and mental health problems, where 'desperately bored' inmates spend more than 22 hours a day in dilapidated cells

[UnderratedSlam]

July at the latest we shall know whether Djokovic visited Becker in prison...

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

It is the country of politician and Nobel Peace Prize holder Aung San Suu Kyi.

Oh, my apologies, although I know the country as Myanmar.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Get out more or read a bit of history maybe? World does not revolve around where you live.

Apologies to you too, sir.
I know that country as Myanmar.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

It's a country, like Yorkshire.

My sincere apologies to you as well, my friend.
Burma didn't click at all in my mind because Myanmar is the de facto name for me.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Burma/Myanmar is an Asian country .
It is situited next to India, Bangladesh China !

My sincere apologies to you as well, my friend.
Burma didn't click at all in my mind because Myanmar is the de facto name for me.

Apologies to you too, sir.

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Changed its name to Myanmar in 1989.

You don't have to apologise for anything lol

 

[T007]

Who gets to judge conduct of a player/people ?

Native Africans / Hazaras / indeginous Australians doesn't get to judge who is morally a better person and deserves the biggest endorsements . Lol

Ruling class gets to judge that . They decide . This is not a criticism . This is just what is there .

Everything is not about Fed/Rafa /Djoker .

Well when you sit for an interview and you get rejected by a panel...then can't cry foul that you were rejected because of your Nationality and your opnions about something.

The decision to pick someone for endorsement depends on his popularity and clean image and for some reason djokovic hasn't been that guy most recently.

 

[ChaelAZ]

Hate him or love him Djokovic always shows support openly to players and people close to him

Except financially.

 

[Frenchy-Player]

Except financially.

I'm not sure money can fix everything. And how he can learn the lesson if someone comes to save him every time..

Yeah, very true. It is a fine line.

 

[Born_to_slice]

During the trial, Becker went to Harrods to buy an expensive purse, yet he whined to the judge that he was totally broke, had no money to survive.

Wow.

Stupidity, arrogance or what?

Oh come on. That's hownit should work in theory but the UK court system has been broken for years now. It is as bad as the US court system.
Becker was stitched up by a kangaroo court. The question is who did he upset within the powers that be.

No, the question is why did he commit the same crime for which he was convicted and sentenced to a suspended prison term by a presumably corrupt German court in 2002? Poor Boris always getting stitched up by corrupt judicial systems wherever he happens to live. Why does it always happen to him and nobody else???

The question is how do politicians and Judges get away with the same so called crimes.
It's double standards.

You need to get your head checked out. Becker broke the law using millions in his business account as personal pocket money and hiding money from creditors. I own a business and that is inexcusable.

Shall we let all criminals do what they want? Or just give Becker special treatment because he's Becker.

So why is Hunter Biden not in jail or the Sunaks or Tony Blair or the Canadian PM Trudeau and many more I can name? All have hidden assets and not paid the tax they should do.
Becker has been stitched up. Simple as that.
