Daniil Medvedev has declared that \u201cno one knows\u201d when he will be able to leave Dubai due to the cancellation of flights amid conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
The former world No 1 secured his 23rd ATP Tour title without having to play the Dubai Championships final on Saturday as his scheduled opponent Tallon Griekspoor was forced to withdraw due to a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n
Prior to Griekspoor\u2019s withdrawal, the final at the ATP 500 tournament in the United Arab Emirates had been due to go ahead on Saturday night despite the situation in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
On Saturday morning, the United States and Israel launched joint air strikes on various locations in Iran.<\/p>\n
Iran retaliated by firing missiles at US bases in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain.<\/p>\n
Medvedev<\/a>, Griekspoor, and the players involved in the doubles final in Dubai, have been unable to leave the city on flights as the UAE has closed its airspace.<\/p>\n ATP Rankings Race To Turin: Daniil Medvedev soars to 3rd, Flavio Cobolli +78, Felix Auger-Aliassime +3<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u2018Jannik Sinner could make coaching change if he doesn\u2019t solve problem quickly\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

The airport closure is being gradually postponed.<\/p>\n \u201cAs strange as it may sound, I\u2019m very emotional on the court, but in life, it would probably help me to be more emotional at certain moments. For me, everything is fine.<\/p>\n \u201cNaturally, I\u2019ve received a lot of messages from friends and acquaintances; everyone is worried.
