Emma Raducanu, the British tennis star, faced a troubling incident when a stalker was found on the waiting list for Wimbledon tickets, prompting immediate security actions. The man was previously given a restraining order in Dubai after harassing Raducanu during matches, including a distressing episode where she sought refuge behind an umpire's chair while in tears. Raducanu expressed how the experience has altered her behavior, making her more cautious and aware of her surroundings. Meanwhile, other players, including Katie Boulter, have also reported threats and harassment, leading to enhanced security at Wimbledon.
"I saw him in the first game of the match and I was like, I don't know how I'm going to finish'. I literally couldn't see the ball through tears."
"I'm obviously wary when I go out. I try not to be careless about it because you only realize how much of a problem it is when you're in that situation."
