But Boris Becker, Djokovic’s coach, was there, and he and Mmoh reminisced while waiting for Djokovic to arrive.
Becker fondly remembered Mmoh’s father, Tony Mmoh, who was a professional tennis player from Nigeria and had reached No. 105 on the tour. Becker told Michael, now a top junior player, about how the elder Mmoh had played, and Becker also passed along some tips.
