The whole world knows that there is an ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine on which Russian Tennis star Russia's Andrey Dublov has sent a strong message to his own country after his tough and riveting semi-final encounter versus Poland's Hubert Hurkacz, whom he defeated 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (5) in the ongoing Dubai Tennis Championships.

Using the common and old tradition between tennis players to sign on camera lens after a match, Rublev wrote, "No War Please" to make his message spread amid the Russia-Ukraine crisis. For the unversed, Russia recently launched a military attack on Ukraine which has made the headlines and is now gaining eyeballs with each passing day. The sports sector has also been hit by the crisis, with the UEFA Champions League final being shifted to Paris from St Petersburg in the wake of the crisis. In addition, the Russian Grand Prix has also been cancelled.

"Watching the news from home, waking up here in Mexico, was not easy," said Medvedev, who will become the No. 1 men's player when rankings are announced next week.

"By being a tennis player, I want to promote peace all over the world," Medvedev continued. "We play in so many different countries. It's just not easy to hear all this news. I'm all for peace."
