It was slow for the Kingdom in the foreign press over the weekend, with Rafael Nadal hitting back at critics after he was appointed ambassador for the Saudi Tennis Federation getting ink from Reuters. “They pay me, yes, do I need the money? Not at all, it will not change my life. I have not signed a super contract, like other fellow athletes who are there, and I totally respect them,” he said. “My commitment is to promote tennis and try to achieve my goals. I don’t think Arabia needs me to wash its image. It is not my objective. People tend to give their opinions without asking questions,” he said.
