Emma Raducanu said she will “be okay” after a “fixated” spectator was ejected from her match at the Dubai Tennis Championships earlier this week. According to the WTA, the governing body of women’s tennis, a man approached Raducanu in a public area on Monday and displayed “fixated behavior.” The same man was then identified again in the stands during the British player’s match against Karolína Muchová on Tuesday before being removed and banned from all WTA events “pending a threat assessment,” the WTA said. Raducanu appeared shaken at the start of the match against Muchová. She went to speak to the umpire while trailing 2-0 in the first set and was then comforted by her Czech opponent after hiding behind the umpire’s chair. “Thank you for the messages of support,” Raducanu wrote on an Instagram Story on Wednesday. “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. “Thank you to Karolína for being a great sport and best of luck to her for the rest of the tournament.”
