by Emma Raducanu was approached by a man who showed “fixed behavior”, who was subsequently expelled from the court by the security of the court before being beaten against Karolina Muchova in the Dubai tennis championships.
Raducanu seemed to be in tears in tears when she went to the second round in the second round after the second game of her rain on Tuesday.
In a statement by the women’s tennis association for the incident, it says: “On Monday, February 17th, Emma Raducanu was addressed in a public area by a man who had fixed behavior.
“The same person was identified in the first lines during the Emmas Match on Tuesday at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships and then selected. It is banned by all WTA events until a threat assessment.
“The security of the players has our top priority, and tournaments are advised on best practices for international sporting events.
“The WTA actively works with Emma and its team to ensure their well -being and offer the necessary support.
“We are still obliged to work with tournaments and your security teams worldwide to get a safe environment for all players.”
Raducanu had fought his way back from a terrible start to take the first set to a tie broken, but finally went 6: 4 6: 4 to miss a last 16 clash with American McCartney Kessler, who had previously unloaded World number three Coco Gauff from the tournament.
The former US Open Champion appeared tearful.
Raducanu dabbed her eyes with her towel when she competed before returning to the court, just to take a double break.
However, she broke back in the fifth with the friendly approval of a breathtaking back hand before she held the serve for the first time, and she was right again when she broke in the ninth game for the second time to kick just 5: 4.
The Brit saved two setpoint points to make it to a tie, but it was her 28-year-old Czech opponent, who finally enforced 8-6.
Raducanu’s disappointment was reinforced when it was broken again in the first game of the second set. After not converting any of the three breakpoints she deserved in the sixth game, it was Muchova who was beaten 6: 4 over the line.
Raducanu had ended her four-match loss run-in the worst of her career in the first round with style. The Wild Card beat the Greece Maria Sakkari 6-4 6-2.
The former British number one had previously used no game card entries in tournaments in Abu Dhabi and Doha in the past two weeks and lost in the first round against Marketa Vondrousova and Ekaterina Alexandrova.
These losses followed another defeat in the first round against Cristina Bucsa in Singapore and a hammering by Iga Swiadek after reaching the third round of the Australian Open for the first time.
In February 2022, Stalker Amrit Magar, who went 23 miles to the Raducanu house and took her father’s shoe as a souvenir, received a five -year -old injunction.
