Emma Raducanu says she will be OK after a “difficult experience” at the Dubai Tennis Championships where she was approached by a man displaying “fixated behaviour” before her second-round defeat to Karolina Muchova.

The individual reportedly handed Raducanu a letter the day before her match with Muchova before he was then spotted in the first few rows of the crowd at the United Arab Emirates event on Tuesday.
