Ignorant, unsensibel, unwissend: Wie sich Alexander Zverev von Saudi-Arabien für Propaganda nutzen lässt, das Menschenrechte mit Füssen tritt. Weil er die hohle Hand macht, nicht aber den Mund öffnet. #Zverev aargauerzeitung.ch/sport/tennis-w…
Zverev accused of being a 'puppet of oil sheikhs' after signing up for Diriyah Tennis Cup in Saudi Arabia
ATPThursday, 27 October 2022 at 22:30
Alexander Zverev has been called out by German media for allowing himself to be used as a propaganda tool at the Diriyah Cup.
Zverev signed up along with Medvedev to play tennis at the Diriyah Cup in Saudia Arabia and it's not gone done well in his native Germany. Saudi Arabia has been widely condemned in the western world for an abysmal human rights record due to all sorts of practices that are deemed unacceptable in European countries such as Germany.
Athletes going to Saudi Arabia is nothing new because most of those decisions are financially motivated as they get heavily compensated. Still, they are getting called out regularly for such actions with Zverev being branded a puppet by journalist Simon Häring.
He reached out to Zverev and his older brother Micha but they did not respond to him.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
