00:00And I just think that it's been handled horrifically in our sport and two world number ones both

00:16getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport.

00:19It's a horrible look.

00:22And yeah, the tennis integrity right now, and everyone knows it, but no one wants to

00:25speak about it.

00:26It's awful, like it's actually awful.

00:30And it's not okay.

00:31So I know that people don't like when I just speak out about things and be honest about

00:36things.

00:37But for someone, a kid that grew up playing tennis, and I enjoyed the competition, I enjoyed

00:41playing, you know, I can get emotional, I can throw a racket, but that's nothing compared

00:44to cheating and taking performance enhancing drugs.

00:46That's ridiculous, in my opinion.

00:49So I'm not going to shut up about it anyway.

00:54So your question is, do I think that he failed two steroid drug tests, which factually happened?

01:00He did fail two doping tests at separate times as well.

01:05It wasn't one after the other.

01:07There were a different timeframe.

01:10So I mean, if you think that that's the way that it got in his system, if that's how you

01:18think it's happened, then, but I mean, if he didn't do anything wrong, then why did

01:22they take his prize money and points away?

01:24Obviously, they found something wrong with it.

01:27And then obviously, why does it build it?

01:29Because of all this, like, you know, I mean, I look where I was at 18 months ago.

01:38And you know, I had the surgery, it's been about about 16 months.

01:40And I just, I honestly never thought I'd be back playing at this level.

01:44And even just, you know, entering an event like this, preparing and doing all the right

01:48things.

01:49But it was just surreal to be back out there.

01:50And I took it all in.

01:52Yeah, I'm really excited to just go out there and just play like just play tennis.

01:55And, you know, I saw Novak in the in the gym and playing doubles with him.

01:58It's a lot to be excited about that I'm just able to get out there and compete again.
