The ATP have broken their silence on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East with several players stranded in Dubai. Daniil Medvedev is one such player having played and won the ATP 500 title there on Saturday.

World No.11 Medvedev won the Dubai title by default after his opponent, Tallon Griekspoor, withdrew through injury.

A statement said: “The ATP is closely monitoring the evolving situation in the Middle East and remains in regular contact with our players, their support teams and relevant local authorities.

“The health, safety and wellbeing of our players, staff and tournament personnel is our priority. We can confirm that a small number of players and team members remain in Dubai following the conclusion of the recent ATP 500 event. They and their teams are being accommodated in the tournament’s official hotels, where their immediate needs are being fully supported.

“We are in direct communication with those affected, as well as with tournament organisers and security advisors. At this stage, travel arrangements remain subject to ongoing assessment in line with airline operations and official guidance. We will continue to provide appropriate support to ensure players and their teams can depart safely when conditions allow.

“We will continue to assess developments and provide updates as appropriate.”
