Tunisia suspended from Davis Cup for shunning Israeli tennis player
The International Tennis Federation has handed a one-year ban to Tunisia for not allowing their player Malek Jaziri to play a match against Israeli player Amir Weintraub at the Tashkent Challenger last month.
The brother and agent of the Tunisian tennis player filed a request with the Tunisian Tennis Federation to not play opposite Weintraub. The country's sports ministry approved Jaziri's request claiming the game has no sports value. (AFP)
