Shame and tennis fans that we could not let it pass. The Dubai tournament, the more precise state of Dubai for hosting this week and one after, the greatest players of the planet has decided to refuse an entry visa to the Player's Shahar Peer on the pretext that it Israel. When is a sign: "Tournament forbidden to the Jews"? stupid decision that is the confusion between politics and sport. Shahar Peer is a simple and charming tennis player gifted enough elsewhere, which is involved in any way in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here's a profoundly stupid decision that reflects a little more fundamentalism and obscurantism of Arab dictatorships as rich as they are.
We would have like to see the ATP and major players in the circuit to show solidarity and boycott the tournament. Unfortunately the size of the checks promised to players beyond belief and forget some essential core values.
