Anyway, I thought that a $20K penalty basically for just being honest, was unfair. And that's what I think He was doing really, ...just "letting it all come out". He wasn't being derogatory, rude or anything, just having a go at himself really
Obviously not a wise thing to do, but I notice several other top line players including Novak understood where He was coming from.
I hope He finds himself & realizes his potential.

Pickles, the fine was not for "being honest" in the interview it was for faking the medical time out he took during the game.
Personally, I have no problem with him saying what he did. If that's the way he feels then, fine, but for him to continue on in the sport from this point is not on. Whether he likes it or not, he has responsibilities that go beyond servicing his own wants.
If he continues with out committing 100% to every game, win or lose, he will just be a fraud. Ultimately, it will sort itself out as he will drop in the rankings and will no longer get the invitation to play.
Interesting to have seen the astonishment expressed by a young up-and-comer when asked about it - they said they'd give anything to have the opportunity he has.
Him and his mate need to rack off, they are an embarrassment to our country.
The women of the game on the other hand are fantastic ambassadors!
Cheers,
