Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Tuesday, May 3, 2022. Tune in to the news afternoon report provided by Tennis House.
The day before, Nadal, the Spanish god of war, had expressed his views in Madrid on the all-British lawn tennis club and the ban on Russian and Belarusian players, arguing that Wimbledon's decision was unfair to Russian and Belarusian players. After the news was reported, the retired Ukrainian player Stahovsky posted on his personal social media and repeatedly questioned Nadal to express his dissatisfaction with the Spaniard. "Rafa Nadal, we've played together, we've faced each other head-on on the Tour. Please tell me, Ukrainian players can't go home, what is the fairness? Ukrainian children can't play tennis anymore, what's the fairness? Ukrainians are dying, what is the fairness? ”
Stahovsky bid farewell to his wife and children two months ago to join the Ukrainian army and is currently fighting the Russians. It can be seen that he is a man with a strong sense of patriotism. Therefore, since Russia started the war with Ukraine, he has spared no effort to appeal for his homeland, and he himself has taken up a gun and rushed to the front.
Earlier, he had tweeted thanking the world number one Djokovic for his support and regretting the silence of Federer and Nadal. This time, seeing that the Spanish god of war did not support Wimbledon's ban decision, he got angry and directly opened his mouth. It seems that on this sensitive topic, how to express a position will not satisfy everyone!
In an interview, the British star Murray, who participated in the competition in Madrid, also expressed his views on Wimbledon's ban. He chose to remain neutral. 'It's an incredibly complicated situation right now, I don't think there's the right answer, I don't support either side, but I don't support a player ban either way.
