Summary at a Glance

A man who "exhibited fixated behaviour" towards British tennis player Emma Raducanu has been given a restraining order, Dubai Police have said.

"Following Raducanu's complaint, Dubai Police detained a tourist who approached her, left her a note, took her photograph, and engaged in behaviour that caused her distress," it said.

Police said in a statement shared on social media on Thursday that the man was detained and Raducanu decided not to press charges.

The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) previously said in a statement that the man in question, who had displayed "fixated behaviour", will be "banned from all WTA events pending a threat assessment".

Raducanu, 22, was visibly upset during a match at the Dubai Tennis Championships on Tuesday after the man was seated in the first few rows of the crowd.
