As Becker, 54, prepared to spend his second night at Wandsworth Prison, South London, Anna said: “I hope he’s strong in this difficult time.

"I’ll support him and visit him whenever I can.”

She added she had helped “as best I could” and wrote to the court in support of her dad before his sentence.

Anna was conceived with model and waitress Angela Ermakova at London’s Nobu restaurant in 1999.

The tryst happened while his first wife Barbara was pregnant with the couple’s second son, Elias, now 22.

Becker was jailed for hiding £2.5million when he was declared bankrupt — and is likely to serve 15 months.

His second wife, Lilly Kerssenberg, 45, also backed him yesterday, saying: “Despite everything that happens privately, I will always pray for you.”

Court tie backlash

SHAMED Boris Becker faces being kicked out of the All England Tennis Club after he infuriated tennis bigwigs by wearing a Wimbledon tie as he was jailed for fraud.

A Wimbledon source said: “What was he doing? Trying to impress the judge?

"It was arrogant — and typical of him.

"They have been discussing if a member has been jailed before and are likely to kick him out.”

Becker also faces losing his BBC commentating work when he is freed.
