Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev made an appeal for peace following his win over compatriot Daniil Medvedev at the ATP Finals.
The seventh-ranked Rublev wrote “Peace, Peace, Peace, All we need,” on a TV camera lens.
Rublev and Medvedev — along with all Russian and Belarus tennis players — have been competing without their flag or country next to their names as part of widespread sports sanctions due to Russia's war with Ukraine.
Rublev made a similar appeal in February, writing “No war please” on a TV camera lens shortly after Russia's invasion.
His latest appeal comes following Russia's withdrawal from the Ukrainian city of Kherson, one of Ukraine's biggest successes in the nearly nine-month-old war.
Rublev won 6-7 (7), 6-3, 7-6 (7).
