Emma Raducanu is reportedly set to be offered extra security at Indian Wells following her stalker ordeal last week.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

On February 18, the British tennis<\/a> star broke down in tears after spotting a man in the crowd who was demonstrating ‘fixated behaviour’ during her second round clash against Karolina Muchova in Dubai.<\/p>\n

Raducanu was visibly upset and hid behind the umpire’s chair. The ‘fan’ was quickly ejected and his name has now been passed on to Wimbledon officials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 2021 US Open winner actually went on to push Muchova all the way before succumbing 6-7 (6-8) 4-6. That in itself was a huge credit to the 22-year-old after her frightening experience.<\/p>\n

According to reports, that wasn’t the first time Raducanu met her stalker. The unnamed assailant had started talking to her the night before her match with Muchova.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he is also understood to have followed her around the globe at various events. Now, he is banned from all WTA events and has been issued a restraining order.<\/p>\n
