“It breaks my heart to see him go through this,”
“Boris was always so nice to me and my family, and we had a great relationship throughout the years and achieved great things in this sport.
“I have been in touch with one of his sons, Noah, and asking if there is something that I could do to help. But it’s terrible. I just hope that he will stay healthy and strong.”
Novak also said that he hopes for Boris to get through this period that he has to stay in jail and that after getting he released he would be able to live his life as it is.
