One of those is also the 2022 Diriyah Tennis Cup, which is attended by players such as Nick Kyrgios, Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev.

The Australian, who is one of the players competing in Saudi Arabia, noticed his tweet and soon responded: "You have a problem with us playing in Saudi? It’s a beautiful place?"
