Medvedev, Rublev Miss Indian Wells Due to Middle East Travel Issues

Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev missed Tuesday night’s exhibition at Indian Wells after being stranded by travel disruptions caused by the war in Iran. The US and Israel launched airstrikes over the weekend, leading to airspace closures and widespread flight cancellations across the Gulf. The conflict disrupted a key transit hub, preventing the Russian players from reaching the event on time.
