Dudi Sela, Israel's # 1 player quit his quarterfinal match in the third set of the 2017 Shenzhen Open so he could begin observing Yom Kippur -- the holiest day of the Jewish year -- by the time the sun set, forfeiting a possible $34,000 in prize money and 90 rankings points.[1][2] He had asked the tournament organizers to have his match be moved forward to be completed before sunset to accommodate his religion, but they denied his request.[1][2]
