I am not surprised (even though I kept Shahar on my TFT team ( i had hopes that she would be mentally tougher that Chaks) at Dubai's actions.
I am also not surprised (but disappointed) that other players didn't withdraw. Now we know (but only suspected) last year when Ram/Ehrlich cancelled at the last moment.
I think the ATP and WTA should refuse to hold any more tournaments in Dubai (or any other nation) that refuses to grant visas to athletes for political reasons. If they wanted to deny radek a visa, that i would understand
