Daniil Medvedev has safely reached Indian Wells
The Dubai champion was stranded in the city as the US and Israel attacks on Iran coincided with the ATP 500 tournament. After reaching Indian Wells, Medvedev spoke to Bolshe Tennis about how he evacuated:
"We arrived in Oman by car. Someone was lucky to get there in 4 hours and 30 minutes, someone drove for nine hours, we drove for seven hours. Our driver couldn't find his passport. We were the only ones who crossed the border, turned around and came back to the UAE. He found his passport in the parking lot and we drove to Oman. Stayed there for a night, the next day we flew to Istanbul, spent the night in a hotel and flew to Los Angeles.
If you tell (the path) in all the details, then of course, it's unusual. You feel like you're in a Hollywood movie: crossing the border with other people, visiting Oman for the first time. We arrived in Oman (with Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev) separately, and flew to Istanbul and Los Angeles together."
