The Fujairah Challenger, being held in the United Arab Emirates, has been suspended after reports indicated Iranian drone attacks on oil infrastructure in the area. Ukrainian tennis player Vladyslav Orlov, who had advanced to the final draw on Tuesday after the preliminary rounds, described the situation: “I finished my match, but the game was suspended because we received emails about bombings 10 kilometers away from us,” he explained. “While I was playing, I could hear the sound of planes flying and also noises near the courts. So right now, it's not very safe to be here,” he concluded. All players have been evacuated, and it is currently unknown if the tournament will resume.
