00:00Hey guys, thank you all for support, great great match again against Lehecka who is in form.
00:13Looking forward to the next matchup with Carlos and I just want to take a moment to reflect
00:19on what happened on the court, the reason why I did not do an interview that is a common
00:25practice after the matches for the winner to do a post-match interview so I just wanted
00:31to make sure that I clarify with everyone what happened, the reason why I chose not
00:36to do that is because a few days ago a famous sports journalist here from Australia who
00:42works for a main broadcaster of Australian Open Channel 9 decided to mock Serbian fans
00:49and he made insulting and offensive comments towards me, so I was hoping he is going to
00:57apologize in public which he hasn't done yet, neither did Channel 9, so that's the only
01:04reason why I didn't do the interview, it was of course not a great feeling for me and it
01:09was quite awkward on the court, Jim Currier was the one that came out, I have tremendous
01:15respect for him and I always love speaking to Jim and I know that a lot of people wanted
01:20to hear me speak so I apologize for everyone being on the stadium and not being able to
01:25hear me speak and on the TV as well but that's the main reason and I have to stand by my
01:33decision and hold this stance until something is done so I leave it to Channel 9 and hopefully
01:39that situation will change for the next match, all the best.
