    Diriyah Cup (tennis) Saudi sportswashing roll of shame1

    12 players. 7 confirmed so far AFAIK:
    1. Daniil Medvedev
    2. Alexander Zverev
    3. Dominic Thiem
    4. Gael Monfils
    5. Stan Wawrinka
    6. Cameron Norrie
    7. Andrey Rublev
    F*** them all. Hardly surprising that Medvedev and Zverev are there. V disappointed at Monfils. And f*** Norrie in particular with his pathetic "I'm not a politician" line. [edited]

    Andrey Rublev made a very courageous stand in calling the war in Ukraine what it is and saying because it is what it is it should be stopped by the man responsible for it happening - Putin.

    And now he signs up for this? Erm...

      Just for the record, the complete list of Saudi sportswashing wankers is as follows (with the addtion of Monfils as per above if his withdrawal was unrelated to any ethical concerns)

      Medvedev
      Zverev
      Thiem
      Wawrinka
      Norrie
      Rublev
      Berrettini
      Stricker (who he?)
      Kyrgios
      Tsitsipas
      Hurkacz
      Fritz

      From the level of the field, it looks as if there no, or almost no, top players willing to resist the murderers' shilling.

        It's the second time it's been played. Previous one 2019 had 8, the last 4 being Medvedev, Goffin, Monfils and Fognini. Others Wawrinka, Struff, Pouille, Isner.
