Raducanu addresses stalker incident at Dubai Championships

Emma Raducanu has publicly addressed a distressing incident during her match at the Dubai Tennis Championships, where she was left in tears after a man exhibiting 'fixated behavior' was removed from the crowd. The individual had previously approached her during an earlier match and was subsequently banned from all WTA events pending further investigation. Raducanu expressed gratitude for the support she received from fans and her opponent, Karolina Muchova, after the incident, stating on Instagram that she was proud of her ability to continue competing despite the emotional challenge. The Women's Tennis Association emphasized its commitment to player safety and is collaborating with Raducanu and tournament officials to ensure her well-being. Despite the disruption, she completed the match but ultimately lost to Muchova, 7-6, 6-4. Investigations into the matter are ongoing as Raducanu prepares to return to London.
