ダニイル・メドベージェフやアンドレイ・ルブレフらテニス選手が、地域情勢の緊張による領空閉鎖を受けてドバイを発った。ATPツアーは影響を受けた人々の避難費用を負担、フジャイラでの大会中止も含む。大半が出発したが、ハリ・ヘリオヴァーラら一部はまだ待機中だ。
アラブ首長国連邦は、2026年3月1日土曜日、米国とイスラエルのイラン攻撃が引き起こした報復攻撃により、地域の米軍基地――UAE内の施設を含む――に対し領空を閉鎖した。これにより、ATP500ドバイ・テニス選手権終了後、ドバイに取り残されたATP選手、スタッフ、関係者約40人が足止めされた。その中には元全米オープン王者のダニイル・メドベージェフ、世界17位のアンドレイ・ルブレフ、カレン・ハチャノフが含まれており、カリフォルニア州インディアンウェルズのBNPパリバ・オープン到着が不透明となっていた。
Xユーザーは、中東紛争による領空閉鎖の中、メドベージェフやルブレフらトップATP選手がオマーン経由やチャーター便でドバイを発ったことに安堵を表明。ATPが当初避難席1席あたり5,000ユーロを請求したことへの批判が高まり、PTPAが費用を補助。近くのドローン事件後のフジャイラ・チャレンジャー中止が選手安全と大会スケジュールへの懸念を呼ぶ。一部はATPの対応を称賛、他は下位選手やスタッフの取り残しを指摘。

Plus, an update on how Russian singles stars escaped Dubai while doubles players couldn't:https://t.co/zz1Zg35Wtc
The ATP is "potentially organizing a charter flight" from Muscat (Oman) on Thursday for players competing in the Fujairah Challenger and charging "5.000€ per person".

Desperate times call for desperate measures, but charging players to evacuate a war zone is not the way to go.
ATP is organising a charter flight from Oman tomorrow for players that are still stranded in Dubai. Despite this being no fault of the players they're charging €5K a ticket. Charging players to leave a war zone is astonishing.

PTPA have stated they will pay for half the ticket. https://t.co/rnCzHbXjLn

The tournament, relocated to Athens last year, will not return, leaving a gap before the ATP Finals. Players have voiced concerns over the evolving schedule amid plans for new high-level events.
