As a result of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, the ATP announced on Friday that the Tel Aviv Watergen Open has been cancelled. It had been scheduled for the week of November 5-11.
“The violence and acts of terror witnessed in Israel are beyond comprehension,” stated ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi. “We strongly condemn any form of terrorism and mourn the loss of innocent lives across this conflict. We hope and pray for peace in the region.”
Tel Aviv had been one of three 250 tournaments on the schedule that week along with Metz, France and recently-announced Sofia, Bulgaria. It is the final week on the 2023 ATP calendar prior to the Nitto ATP Finals beginning on November 12.

Week of October 30 – Paris Masters

Hamas is an Islamic terrorists organization bunch of filthy cowards.
“Hamas is an Islamic terrorists organization bunch of filthy cowards.”
Fair enough, but then how do you call Israelis considering they way they behave since illegal formation of their country on the land of Palestine, before you answer go back to 19th century and bloke named Theodor Herzl and move to 1917. and what UK promised to European Jews and so on and so on…..100 years later we have what we have in the Middle East.
I challenge you to find one logical reason why I or anyone else should support Israel?!
If only you knew how bad and corrupt the perpetrators are
… And I’m not talking about Hamas. 😉
When people start pushing propoganda through tennis forums.
It’s not propaganda it’s the truth, don’t deceive yourself.
I hate to break it to you but terrorism occurs constantly in the business and political world.
There’s many different acts of terrorism that destroy the lives of others, not just people pulling out guns and shooting people, which is usually the result of all the unspoken stuff that occurs on a regular basis.
If you want the world to be a certain way then act according to it.
It’s not rocket science.
This particular terrorism is religious in nature(Islam), Israel didn’t start this war in fact if you know a little about history and are spiritual you will understand and discern this dates back hundreds even thousands of years ago.
Putting that aside presently this Islamic terrorist(Hamas) murdered thousands of innocent people last week from infants, children, men and women not because of land but because they are evil and their religion instructs them to do so.
Then they hide behind the Palestine people as human shields who are also complicit bunch of evil cowards that’s their strategy.
So why are the Palestinians complicit? Hamas was elected as the ruling terrorist party for them back in 2006, hamas builds tunnels and launches rockets in/from civilian builds, school, hospitals etc holds hostages in different residential houses in Gaza.
Israel has the right to defend herself with full force but unlike the barbarians they at least warn before the strike to minimize damage no other country now or in the past has tolerated this kind evil with some sympathy, if they used full force at least 500k Palestinians would be already dead by now.
Only Fools think hamas are the victims don’t sympathize with terrorists if you don’t know your facts or the full story do a little study and learn a little.
