Raducanu comes through stalking ordeal

British tennis player Emma Raducanu says she no longer feels she is “hiding from anything” after being targeted earlier this year by a man who “exhibited fixated behaviour”.

The 2021 US Open champion was distressed and tearful when she saw a man who had followed her to four successive tournaments in the stands during a match in Dubai in February.

The man, who was removed and later given a restraining order by Dubai police, had given Raducanu a letter and asked for a photograph in a coffee shop the previous day.

The Briton says she has “got over” the incident - but does, however, admit to being occasionally unnerved when seeing printed photographs of herself.
