'We want to do our job' - Russia's Andrey Rublev says sport should be outside of politics after UK minister's comments
Andrey Rublev says Russian tennis players should be allowed to continue to compete at tournaments despite the nation's invasion of Ukraine. Rublev, who advanced to the semi-finals of Indian Wells after a 7-5 6-2 win over Grigor Dimitrov on Friday, wrote 'No war please' on a camera lens after his semi-final win at the Dubai Tennis Championships in February. Ad/> Nigel Huddleston, the United Kingdom’s government’s sport, tourism and heritage minister, suggested he will seek «assurance” from Daniil Medvedev and other Russian tennis players that they do not support Vladimir Putin's regime and that the government is in talks with the All-England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) regarding their stance for Wimbledon, which starts on June 27.
