Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Russian tennis player, Andrey Rublev, wrote \u201cno to war\u201d on a camera lens as he joined compatriot Daniil Medvedev in calling for peace.<\/p>\n

Rublev defeated Hubert Hurkacz 3-6 7-5 7-6 (7-5) on Friday to advance to the final of the Dubai Tennis Championships.<\/p>\n

After confirming his place in the final with either Denis Shapovalov or Jiri Vesely, the 24-year-old world number seven took a pen.<\/p>\n

He then scribed \u201cno to war\u201d on the lens of a television camera.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for players to write messages on camera lenses, but an appeal for peace was an emotive move from Rublev.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Russia invaded Ukraine after weeks of rising political tensions.<\/p>\n

The conflict escalated on Friday, with reports of fighting within the capital city of Kyiv.<\/p>\n

Rublev\u2019s actions came after Medvedev, who will succeed Novak Djokovic, as world number one next week, said he wanted to \u201cpromote peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rublev had initially expressed his wish for peace at a news conference at the Dubai event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn these moments, you realize that my match isn\u2019t important,\u201d Rublev said, with a video clip shared to his official Instagram account.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not about my match, how it affects me. What is happening is much more terrible.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou realize how important it\u2019s to have peace in the world and to respect each other no matter what, to be united.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should take care of our Earth and of each other. This is the most important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
