VIDEO. Russian anthem played at Nadal Academy junior tournament
Ten Pro competition organizers at the opening ceremony russian anthem on.
The junior tournament in the Mallorca Ten Pro Global Tennis Junior Tour takes place at the academy of Spanish star tennis player Rafael Nadal. The tour itself is not under the auspices of international tennis federations, which impose sanctions on the Russians in the form of a ban on the use of the anthem and flag.
But the organizers themselves could have acted differently and not played the anthem at the ceremony, which is not only a symbol of the war waged by the state, but also an instrument of torture, because in the occupied lands Ukrainians are forced to teach children or civilians. and captive soldiers. In the video, you can hear how the Russians (relatives of the participants) in the stands were pleasantly surprised when they heard their anthem.
The founder of the Ten Pro tour is Serbian Goran Novakovic, competitions among youth are held throughout the year at various well-known academies: academies of Nadal, Muratoğlu, Clijsters, IMG and others. It is reported that tour participants can earn points in the UTR ranking.
