I\u2019m just very sad that someone I know so well, and of course someone that is a legend of our sport, is going through what he\u2019s going through. It\u2019s been only less than a month. We know how long he has to be there. So I just hope that he will stay healthy and strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/AFP_32BH74G-e1653849006893.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption>Novak Djokovic drinks as he sits on the bench during a French Open match.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Tennis_Boris_Becker_Sentenced-e1653849135173.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tennis_Boris_Becker_Sentenced.jpg\" alt=\"Former tennis player Boris Becker arrives at Southwark Crown Court in London, Friday, April 29, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-22456628\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Boris Becker was found guilty of dodging his obligation to disclose financial information to settle his debts.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Djokovic, who won his fourth-round match Sunday over Diego Schwartzman in straight sets and will face Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals, also touched on the recent election in Australia, won by Anthony Albanese.
