Medvedev will not participate in the exhibition event at Indian Wells due to travel disruptions related to the war. Russian tennis players Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev will not reach Indian Wells in time to take part in the exhibition event on Tuesday night, as they were affected by travel disruptions resulting from the war in Iran. The United States and Israel conducted air strikes on Iran over the weekend, leading to airspace closures and extensive flight cancellations across various regions of the Gulf, which has disrupted a crucial transit hub for international sports. Former world number one Medvedev, who secured the Dubai Championships title through a walkover on Saturday, was set to compete in the Eisenhower Cup, a one-night Tie Break Tens doubles event alongside fellow Russian Mirra Andreeva. American Amanda Anisimova was paired with Rublev for this popular event, which takes place on the eve of the main draw of the Indian Wells tournament in the Southern California desert...

Who will face whom in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup? The lineup for the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup has been finalized after the thrilling Super Eights. Host India defeated West Indies in the last high-voltage match of the Super Eights at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata and became the last team to secure a ticket to the semi-finals.
