The Women's Tennis Association says concern over a man who’d exhibited fixated behavior caused Emma Raducanu to approach the chair umpire in tears and take an unscheduled break in her second-round match at the Dubai Championships.

Emma Raducanu said she will “be okay” after a “fixated” spectator was ejected from her match at the Dubai Tennis Championships earlier this week.

Emma Raducanu was approached in a public space "by a man who exhibited fixated behavior" and the same man was spotted in the first few rows during her match, the WTA said.
