British tennis player Andy Murray, who was previously ranked first in the world, will begin his journey this evening (Monday) in the Madrid tournament when he meets Austrian Dominic Tim in the first round.
Even before the tournament kicked off the player spoke in the last day regarding two burning issues.
Marie first spoke of former tennis player Boris Becker, who was recalled last week sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison following property evasion, and refusal to pay his debts.
Marie said of Becker's sentence: "I have no sympathy for him, he has broken the law so he should be punished, the person he was in the past, and his accomplishments, should not be given any relief. I am still sorry to hear about the situation he has reached, but I am also sorry "For the people who were hurt by the decisions he made. I hope he is okay and that he will learn from the mistakes he made."
Also about Wimbledon's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players from the tournament starting in June, the player had something to say: "I do not support removing players from the tournament, I understand it is a complex situation and there is no clear right answer, I talked to Russian players who are banned Not fair, but I also know the tournament organizers and I understand their side.
Marie is not the first to speak out against the decision of the organizers of the Wimbledon tennis tournament, when both Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic came out this week against the expulsion of the Russian players.
