World number one Carlos Alcaraz has"no doubts" he will compete in Saudi Arabia at some point and said the country has the power to hold plenty of tournaments after the ATP Tour began talks about a potential partnership with its sovereign wealth fund.
The report quoted Gaudenzi as saying any potential investors had to respect the history of the sport and work with current stakeholders."I've never played an official tournament over there, and let's see how it is going to be in the future," he said after his Queen's Club win on Sunday.Critics have accused the PIF of being a vehicle for the country to improve its reputation -"sportswashing" - as it faces criticism of its human rights record.
While Saudi Arabia has not hosted an ATP tournament several top players including Daniil Medvedev and Stan Wawrinka have competed in the Diriyah Cup exhibition event, which held its second edition last year.
