Russian tennis star slams Wimbledon ban as ‘illogical’ & ‘discriminatory’

Published

Russian tennis star Andrey Rublev has slammed Wimbledon’s ban on Russian and Belarusian players saying it’s illogical and discriminatory

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its atrocities, the Wimbledon Organisers made the decision to ban them from the tournament.

“To be honest, the reasons that they give, there is no meaning, there is no logic for what they propose…

“The things that happen now are complete discrimination of us.”

“Banning Russian or Belarusian players will not change anything. To give all the prize money would have a more positive effect to humanitarian help, to the families who are suffering, to the kids who are suffering. I think that would do something.”

The tennis star has previously written ‘no war please’ on the camera post-match, to show his stand against Russia’s actions.

The Kremlin continues to criticise bans on its athletes in global sports calling it “unacceptable”.

The Belarusian Tennis Federation also released a statement saying the ban only encourages ‘hatred and intolerance on the basis of nationality’.

Wimbledon has been quick to defend its motion though, moving in line with other Governments, sporting, and industries to condemn Russia’s actions.

The ban is the first of its kind in an elite tennis event.

The world number one had nothing but words of support for the Russian after a tough fight in Serbia.

“Belgrade and Serbia love you. Please come back to defend your title.”

Published

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

U.S. home prices surge 47%

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
