Explosions could be heard outside of the Dubai hotel. With the United Arab Emirates coming under attack by Iranian missiles, the players who were there for an ATP Challenger tournament in nearby Fujairah did not expect to take to the court. To their surprise, they were told it was safe to play in the port city about an hour's drive east of Dubai, home to a key global oil storage and bunkering hub. "We expected to stay in shelter because that's what the governments were advising," Australian player James McCabe, who was practising on court when he heard explosions and fighter jets overhead, told BBC Sport. The UAE has come under attack after US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which began last Saturday, prompted retaliatory strikes across the region. The ATP decided on Monday to proceed as planned with the tournament after holding discussions with the local government about its viability. On Tuesday, players ran from the courts when a nearby oil terminal was set ablaze by debris from a drone attack. The rest of the tournament was eventually cancelled, along with a second tournament at the same venue next week, leading to worried players desperately asking for support and scrambling for flights. Two players - Russia's Marat Sharipov and Uzbekistan's Sergey Fomin - remain stranded in the UAE, along with their coaches. Everyone else has found a way to leave. "I don't understand how it was decided the tournament was safe to go to in the first place," said McCabe, now back home in Sydney.
A little known publicly traded company in Nigeria said its revival plan has stalled because it can’t trace its biggest shareholder.

A little known publicly traded company in Nigeria said its revival plan has stalled because it can’t trace its biggest shareholder. Union Dicon Salt Plc has searched for Aims Ltd., which owns 40% of the company, for about 22 years. The maker of edible salts renewed its efforts to find the missing shareholder by issuing a regulatory filing this week asking the investor to get in touch. Shares of Union Dicon have more than doubled this year probably on speculation about the firm’s plan to revive operations and expand, according to Alfred James, its company secretary. But without its top investor — an overseas company — getting regulatory approvals can be a challenge, James said. The company plans to host a board meeting later this year “to put something before shareholders on restructuring,” James said. “If they are available, it will help deal with these issues.” Union Dicon, which lost contact with Aims around 2004, is loss-making and hasn’t paid a dividend in years. The company now relies on rental income and has negative equity after accumulating losses over an extended period, according to its latest financial statements.
