Raducanu remarkably was able to continue and complete her match after the spectator was kicked out at the Dubai Tennis Championships, with the incident occurring early in the first set after the Briton fell 2-0 behind.
After Raducanu was targeted in Dubai, meanwhile, a spokesperson from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) said: ‘This incident once again highlights issues around safety that all players, but female players in particular, can face.
The ‘stalker’ who targeted Emma Raducanu at the Dubai Tennis Championships has been handed a restraining order by local police.
At the time, it was unclear why Raducanu was left so upset, with the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) later providing a statement to explain what happened.
The WTA statement on Wednesday read: ‘On Monday, Emma Raducanu was approached in a public area by a man who exhibited fixated behaviour.
