Clear message from Rublev!
After reaching the final of the ATP tournament in Dubai, tennis star Andrej Rublev (24) clearly formulated his opinion on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“No War Please” (“Please no war”), the seventh in the world rankings wrote after his three-set victory (3: 6, 7: 5, 7: 6) over the Pole Hubert Hurkacz (25) on the lens of a TV camera. Usually the players put their signature on it there.
Anti-war message from Rublev!
The new world number one Daniil Medvedev (26) from Russia (from Monday No. 1), who is currently starting at the tournament in Acapulco, was also affected by the events in Ukraine. Medvedev: “Waking up here in Mexico and seeing the news back home was not easy. It’s not easy hearing all this news.”
At night he meets Rafael Nadal (35) in the semifinals, against whom he lost the Australian Open final in January.
