LONDON (AP) — The ATP says Israeli player Andy Ram has been granted a visa to play at next week's Dubai Tennis Championships.
ATP president Adam Helfant says "the United Arab Emirates government has made the right decision in allowing Andy Ram to enter their country and compete."
Thursday's decision comes days after Israeli player Shahar Peer was denied a visa for this week's WTA Tour tournament in Dubai.

Organizers said they feared fan anger over Israel's recent military offensive in the Gaza Strip would spill into riots if Peer were to play.
