Not only has Roddick condemned the Dubai tournament's banning of Peer, he went one step further than Williams, and boycotted this tourament! That was a very galant and wonderful move on his part.
Honoring only Williams and leaving him out is a disgrace.

...to Andy Roddick. He took it one step further and refused to attend the men's tournament the next week. It was not a meaningless gesture, as he had won the tournament the year before and had several ranking points to defend.

Good on her. Not sure what she would make of the treatment of Israelis of African/Black origin by many in Israeli society.

Venus spoke out, but Andy Roddick withdrew from the tournament due to Shahar's not receiving a visa! ADL needs to honor Andy with an award. That took a lot of chutzpah and he lost a lot of money from withdrawing from the tournament.

He skipped Dubai even though he was the defending champion because they didn't let Peer play.
