Following the geopolitical tensions currently affecting the United Arab Emirates, several players on the tour are currently stranded in Dubai.

As a result, the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) has issued a statement on its official website.

The ATP Statement

"The ATP is closely monitoring developments in the Middle East and remains in regular contact with its players, their teams, and the relevant local authorities.

The health, safety, and well-being of our players, staff, and tournament organizers are our priority.

We confirm that a small number of players and team members remain in Dubai following the conclusion of the recent ATP 500 tournament.

They are accommodated, along with their teams, in the tournament's official hotels, where their immediate needs are fully met.

We are in direct communication with the individuals involved, as well as with tournament organizers and security advisors.

At this stage, travel arrangements remain subject to ongoing assessment based on airline operations and official recommendations.

We will continue to provide the necessary support to ensure the safe departure of players and their teams as soon as conditions allow.

We will continue to assess the evolving situation and keep you informed."
