00:00Yeah, I mean, I guess, first off, what's happening is unfortunate, and my thoughts and prayers are out there for
00:06everyone affected and innocent lives being taken, and I think it's a lot of unnecessary violence going on.
00:13As for the Middle East, I've never personally felt unsafe there, playing tournaments or anything like that.
00:20I've never felt unsafe.
00:21I think what's happening now, well, I guess people, maybe political experts, could see it coming, but I think as
00:28far as a tennis player, no one would expect things to happen.
00:31And, yeah, my coach, Gavin, is actually there right now.
00:35He's currently stuck, and I don't know if he's going to make it.
00:39I just want him to be safe, but I don't know if when he can leave and things like that,
00:43we're just taking it day by day with him.
00:45But, yeah, I've never felt unsafe there.
00:48I've never really felt unsafe in a lot of parts of the world.
00:50And it's one of the things that, yeah, violence can happen, but it can happen in different forms.
00:56For example, in the U.S., we do have a lot of mass shootings, and there's always uncertainty with that.
01:01So, yeah, and I don't think, you know, a lot of hate is being towards the Middle East, but I
01:06think it's just a lot of unfortunate circumstances that are happening right now.
01:10And the timing of everything makes it difficult that there are the guys that are there stuck.
01:14But I am thankful that I was able to get out of that before things turned to where it is
01:20now.
01:20So, yeah.
01:20So, yeah.
