ATP tennis stars have been caught up in the Middle East travel chaos amid the ongoing conflict, which has affected players looking to leave Dubai. World No.11 Daniil Medvedev is one of those players having won the ATP 500 event there on Saturday after Tallon Griekspoor withdrew through injury.

Medvedev's participation in the year's first ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Indian Wells is uncertain. Reports have emerged that players opted against alternative travel arrangements from the United Arab Emirates to America.
