Medvedev, Rublev Miss Indian Wells After Middle East Flight Disruptions

Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev missed a pre-Indian Wells exhibition after being caught in travel disruptions caused by airstrikes between the US, Israel, and Iran.

The Russian stars did not arrive in time for Tuesday night's exhibition as airspace closures and widespread cancellations across the Gulf disrupted a key transit hub following US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran.

Additionally, a Challenger event in Dubai was cancelled due to a security alert linked to the escalating conflict.
