 | Rafael Nadal will not participate further in the tournament in Queens because of high taxes13-10-2011 |
The final tournament of the ATP, which will be held in November in London, may be deprived of some of the biggest stars of world tennis because of the high taxes that players must pay on their profits there, warned the Spaniard Rafael Nadal. He called to make changes in tax legislation, as nearly half of the profit participation, prize money and other revenues of the best athletes who guest-remain in Britain as taxes. "Really it's hard to know what they want in the UK with such high taxes. In Britain there are many positive things, but as seen, and quite negative. And one of them is unrealistic taxation. For me the tournament in London is fantastic, wonderful audience, always full stadium and great interest. But London, as it is, is not only big and interesting city in the world, Nadal said. But surely he would not participate further in the tournament in Queens, which precedes Wimbledon. The reason is this. Nadal has already found its solution. Just before the grand slam Wimbledon, he will participate in competition in the German city of Halle. The contract for conducting the ATP in the finals of the O2 Arena in London expires in 2013 and a year and the association may delay the re-signing a new contract if the other of the top stars of the sport support Nadal. The first leading figure in tennis in the UK to read signals from Nadal and other athletes, was executive director of Wimbledon Ian Ritchie. Earlier this year he urged lawmakers to change the taxation of losing op Englandiite to be the leading force in the sport.
