And now Roddick pulls out in protest: http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2009/...9771235194017/ "With some top players missing the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships either due to injuries or otherwise, the favourites' tag now falls on Djokovic and Murray." "Some of the top players such as Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, Nicolai Davydenko and Fernando Verdasco have pulled out, mostly due to injuries." What OTHERWISE means? No mention of Roddick explicit decision to not play due to the Israeli ban... |

According to a letter in Seven Days, the concerned tennis player is an accomplished marksman in the Israeli Defence Force whose video was being used to actively recruit more soldiers to the army. Not surprising that Arabs might object to her inclusion.

It's not unusual to be involved in a state organised militia in Israel though.
It's tennis not an invasion FFS. |
