Russian tennis star Andrey Rublev writes ‘No War Please’ on camera lens after win in Dubai

Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev wrote the words "No War Please" on a camera lens after reaching the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Thursday.

Sending a clear message to Vladimir Putin, the world No. 7 scribbled his on-court plea for the entire world to see.

While the letters initially appeared backwards as Rublev signed the camera, another shot soon revealed his powerful words.
