- British player visibly rattled during defeat to Karolina Muchova
- WTA ‘actively working’ with Raducanu to ensure her well-being
An emotional Emma Raducanu was knocked out of the Dubai Tennis Championships by Karolina Muchova, after a man in the crowd who had displayed “fixated behaviour” was ejected from the venue.
Raducanu appeared rattled and in tears as she went to the umpire’s chair after going behind 2-0 early in the encounter at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. The British player had become upset due to a man who she had seen in the front few rows of the stands.
