“...it will be massive if he’s not allowed to participate.”
If he doesn’t participate, does it make any difference to the world? He is nothing more than a tennis player and he and other athletes have nothing to do with anything viable with the world. He earns his money, he goes to the next tournament, and he earns his money again.
Doesn’t cure world hunger or beheadings. He is a way too highly paid entertainer. Nothing more. In the mid-evil times they had Punch and Judy. Same theory.
