Andy Murray remains undecided about any possible participation should the ATP bend to growing financial pressure to allow rivers of Saudi money into the sport.
The two-time Wimbledon-winning Scot said that competing in the controversial kingdom where human rights are limited will be a hard choice for some players.
The 36-year-old has previously opted out of a big-money December exhibition payday in the country which is trying to gain a sporting foothold through sheer cashflow.
But Murray said that should Tour events be staged in the controversial kingdom which has already bought its way into golf, would be a different matter which would require some thought.
“In the past we were asked to go and play exhibition tournaments,” he said prior to his Wimbledon start next week..
“If they become major tournaments on the Tour, it becomes a slightly different question.
“When you start missing them (big events), you obviously get penalised .It’s definitely something I would have to think about.”
“Unfortunately it’s the way that a lot of sports seem to be going now.”
Murray opens his campaign for a third WImbledon title a decade after winning his first against young Brit Ryan Peniston.
“I’ve actually not played against many Brits at Wimbledon before. I know Ryan pretty well, we practised together quite a lot.
“He’s had some good wins on the surface. Lefty and moves very well. I need to be ready for that one.”
