Any success by a Russian tennis player, or any other Russian sports star, will be reported in Russia as success for the ‘great Russian people’. If these pampered Russians don’t like it, maybe they should go home and lead some resistance to the murderers regime, or at least renounce their citizenship and apply to another country to become citizens there. In my opinion, there should be no participation in international sport by any Russian, even if they compete under neutral flag. Putin wages total war, the ban on Russians must be total, too. No exceptions.
He's Serbian not Russian.

It's not total war by any stretch of the imagination

Resistance fighters? there are only ever very few see France WW2 or even anti- Hitler in Germany

Thought I’d reply to the unthinking vitriol being poured on me.
I see much of the comments as ill informed and unsubstantiated

I was accused of being a snowflake. Here’s the definition……
Snowflake “A very sensitive person. Someone who is easily hurt or offended by the statements or actions of others.”6 Oct 2020
Really can’t see how you can accuse me of being a snowflake. I am putting a contrarian view that a Serbian tennis player living in Monte Carlo should not be penalised from plying his trade. & I am taking a lot of flak for it
A poster on here was Laughing @ my Covid cost calculation
I got it wrong . I apologise. Here’s the real deal……
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in very high levels of public spending. Current estimates of the cost of Government measures announced so far range from about £310 to £410 billion. This is the equivalent of about £4,600 to £6,100 per person in the UK.

Suggestions of banning me from the site
That’s a good definition of fascist tendencies
Fascism : a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government.
Whatever happened to free speech?

I will engage in reasoned fact based debate but really the quality of thought seemingly without factual basis is pathetic
