Emma Raducanu has thanked fans for their messages of support on social media after the "difficult experience" of being approached by a man displaying fixated behaviour ahead of her defeat to Karolina Muchova in the Dubai Tennis Championships.
"This same individual was identified in the first few rows during Emma's match on Tuesday at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships and subsequently ejected.
"The WTA is actively working with Emma and her team to ensure her well-being and provide any necessary support.
"Difficult experience yesterday but I'll be okay and proud of how I came back and competed despite what happened at the start of the match.
"Player safety is our top priority, and tournaments are advised on security best practices for international sporting events.
