Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic said they are evaluating their scheduled exhibition in Saudi Arabia following the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The match is scheduled for Dec. 22 and was announced one day after Khashoggi's death came to light. In the days that followed, a political crisis erupted as Saudi Arabia faced criticism for its human rights record.
Nadal and Djokovic commented on the situation for the first time.
"I had a commitment since one year to play there," Nadal told reporters before the Paris Masters, according to Tennis.
