1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,559
Speaker 1: Nowell and Whatdy podcast many might There's a couple of

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: things I wanted to ask you about. The first one

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: is this white flag that's going on with the Russians.

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: I know, the Azarenka Rebecca the game last night, he's

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: obviously wadded out for a little people quite confusing, buddies.

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: That's that's what Tennis Australia has gone with. What the

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: Russians have to fly with it. Know, there's been a

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: bit of business last night with Djokovic's dad and the

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: supporting Russia and whatever else. What are your thoughts on

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: this sight of play there.

11
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, you look big picture. A lot

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: of the international sporting bodies have flat out band players

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: and teams from Russia and from Bella, Russia for their

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: support of the Russian war that's ongoing. Tennis has ruled

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: that no teams from Russia or Beller Russia are allowed

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: to participate in team competitions, but the individuals are allowed

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: to play without without their flag. So that's what we're seeing.

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: That's uniform. Wimbledon took an extreme stance last year and

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: didn't allow any of the players to play, and you know,

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 2: all the other tournaments are allowing them, which I think

21
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: is the right thing. These these individuals are not responsible

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: for Pudin's war. They've been penalized enough by not getting

23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: to play team competition to call that. You know, the

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: situation was unfortunate with a group of Russian supporters getting

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: onto the grounds and making their statement, and then Djokovic's

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: dad sort of meandering into the fray. He was probably

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: on his way somewhere else and just got called in

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: to take a picture. I don't know the details. I

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: don't know if he was aware, if they were Russian.

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: All I can say is, you know, Novak just needs

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: to stay focused and you know, not let that be

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: a distraction. He's dealing with enough stuff right now.

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: No is She's staying focus for him at the moment, Jays,

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he needs any more help. I think

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: it's actually kind of good with the handicap and he's

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: got some background noise going on the guy and he's

37
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: got the hamstring now some controversy. Hopefully that can bring

38
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: him

39
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,440
