Andy Murray has often been hailed as one of the most upstanding players on the ATP tour currently and the Brit showcased it once again during his recent press conference at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships.When asked whether the former World No. 1 would consider playing for an alternative tour in Saudi Arabia, similar to the situation that is going on in golf right now, Murray outright declared that he would never do so.Christopher Clarey 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇪🇸@christophclareyAndy Murray resistant too twitter.com/christophclare…Christopher Clarey 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇪🇸@christophclareyNo sign yet of a Saudi-backed rival #tennis tour but the kingdom definitely wants an official tournament (or two) and continues to make that clear to the ATP & WTAFor now, the tours are resistantOur latestnytimes.com/2022/06/24/spo…12713No sign yet of a Saudi-backed rival #tennis tour but the kingdom definitely wants an official tournament (or two) and continues to make that clear to the ATP & WTAFor now, the tours are resistantOur latestnytimes.com/2022/06/24/spo…Andy Murray resistant too twitter.com/christophclare… https://t.co/IEt8ubODpxThe 35-year-old further added that he had been approached by event organizers from the country a few years ago, along with other top players at the time. Despite being offered large sums of money to secure their participation, Murray revealed that they had all collectively declined the request, a decision he was ready to repeat in the future."They did [try to offer a sack full of money to play on a different tour]. They put on an event in Saudi Arabia a few years ago, and I was offered to play there. I know a number of the other guys on the tour were offered to play there," Murray said. "I don't think the player field that went was what they were hoping. Yeah, a lot of the, I would say, top players and bigger names turned it down. And I personally wouldn't go and play there."The Sportsman@TheSportsman @andy_murray has turned down opportunities to play in Saudi Arabia before and has never been afraid of speaking his mind... @senornunes#Wimbledon | #ATPTennis123🇬🇧🎾 @andy_murray has turned down opportunities to play in Saudi Arabia before and has never been afraid of speaking his mind...📝 @senornunes#Wimbledon | #ATPTennisThe answer has since gone viral on social media, with fans praising the Brit for his morally righteous approach to the game, unlike the golf pros who sided with the money.
