"Not all countries have big stadiums just sitting and waiting": Ruud defends Davis Cup amid venue criticism
Tennis NewsSaturday, 04 February 2023 at 16:30
Casper Ruud has hit back after criticism was levied at a venue for the USA-Uzbekistan tie being held in Tashkent over this weekend which has since been won by the former.
Journalist Jose Morgado posted on Twitter calling it out. "Well, this venue is not what I expected for a qualifiers tie."
Only for Ruud to respond saying that not all countries have huge stadiums lying around vacant for this and also took aim at the ITF for giving smaller federations short notice in order to hold these tournaments.
"Not all countries have big stadiums just sitting and waiting all year round, plus it’s not easy to plan and host for a smaller federation when ITF gives you less than 2 months to organize it. Most big stadiums that could be used to play the tie is already booked to something else" Ruud tweeted.

- 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".
