— José Morais (@ZezeAM) June 3, 2017 Boris Becker, at least on the surface, appears to be very supportive of his former charge Novak Djokovic and the Serb’s quest to regain his form with Andre Agassi as his coach. But beneath the surface there are demons that only a skilled therapist can assist with.That’s why seven-time major champion John McEnroe invited Becker up to his Paris flat for some therapeutic bedtime conversation that will hopefully allow the German to stop having nightmares and finally accept his diminished role in Djokovic’s life.Or, something like that (we know this is a crazy advertisement, but let's pretend it's real, because it's more fun that way).Whatever this strange segment featuring McEnroe and Becker is about, we must admit we laughed, we cried and we were confused all at once.“Repressing emotions is not a good thing Boris,” says McEnroe. “You have to accept failure.”“I did not fail,” Becker replies. “I won six majors for God’s sake.”Then Becker says: “Shut up. … Shut up. … Shut the F#$% up!”“Yes!” McEnroe replies. “Now we’re making progress.”If anyone understands the hidden meaning here, please sound off in the comments. We could use the help. ]]>Chris Oddo. Chris Oddo is a freelance sportswriter, podcaster, blogger and social media marker who is a lead contributor to Tennisnow.com.
