Cameron Norrie has rejected calls to speak out on human rights abuses at an exhibition tournament branded “the latest jamboree of Saudi sportswashing” in Riyadh next month.
And the British No.1 claimed the 12-man tournament will help his bid “to potentially win the Australian Open" in January.
Amnesty International called on Wimbledon semi-finalist Norrie to use the Diriyah Tennis Cup to raise human rights issues - such as the imprisonment of Leeds University PhD student Salma al-Shehab.
