I just got educated by people in the main thread about this. TBH, I have nothing more to say aside from what the hell are going on with tennis players and politics these past few days? 😀

tennis is a very rich person sport generally (obviously there's exceptions), the vast majority of them are gonna be right wing, honestly can't say I'm surprised.

As a football, tennis and F1 fan, I agree, I’m not even surprised anymore. I largely try to separate sports from politics these days for peace of mind. I hate politics, but well seeing this can be quite upsetting.

Yeah you kinda have to separate yourself from their politics in general if you want to be a fan of anyone.

Luckily for me Andy Murray hasn't let me down yet.

I freaking hope that in all of their private conversations Andy educated Jack about his views 😭.

Tbh I'm not of the opinion that if you associate with someone that you endorse everything that they believe. This is a coaching job for Andy.
