Medvedev and Rublev miss Indian Wells due to Iran airstrikes

Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev failed to arrive in time for Tuesday's exhibition match due to travel disruptions caused by recent airstrikes and airspace closures in the Middle East.

Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev missed the pre-event exhibition match in Indian Wells due to severe travel disruptions caused by the escalating conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran.

The airstrikes over the weekend triggered airspace closures and widespread flight cancellations across the Gulf, preventing the Russian stars from reaching the venue in time.
