Tennis Australia offers a way out for players trapped in the United Arab Emirates
Tennis Australia has organized a return flight for Australian players who were stranded after the cancellation of the Challenger de Fujairah tournaments due to the crisis in the Middle East. Among them are Jason Kubler and Cruz Hewitt, who will depart for Australia this Wednesday. Another player in the draw, James McCabe, had already left the area earlier. Kubler told The First Serve that he had planned to compete for several weeks in the region between Challenger and ITF tournaments, so the cancellation means losing opportunities for points and prize money, although the most important thing is that they will be able to leave the area safely.
We have just spoken to Aussie player Jason Kubler and his coach Andrew Harris caught up in the cancelled ATP Challenger Tour events scheduled in Fujairah UAE, this week and next week (Fujairah 2) due to the Middle East crisis.
