Heliovaara confirms that he has been able to leave Dubai and is now in Italy
Finnish doubles player Harri Heliovaara has confirmed in a new update on his blog that he has finally been able to leave Dubai after several days of uncertainty. The player explained that they managed to board a flight bound for Milan and are now in Italian airspace. It is not entirely clear who was traveling on that plane, although it seems that Heliovaara himself, along with his family and doubles partner Henry Patten, were on board. The Finn had been recounting the failed attempts to leave the region following the cancellation of tournaments and the complications arising from the crisis in the Middle East.
