- Raducanu was approached in Dubai by a man who had seen several times before
- A coach who works with Raducanu said that man followed her in all countries
- Indian Wells, where she must play below, take measures to guarantee her safety
Emma Raducanu has been offered up to five additional security guards by Indian organizers Wells Open while trying to convince the British to play in their presigious tournament.
In his second round in Dubai last week, Raducanu was led to cry and hid on the court when he saw the man of the crowd.
It arose that this individual had been showing signs of “fixed behavior” and had already approached it once that week. He was subsequently arrested by the police in the United Arab Emirates and gave him a restriction order.
Raducanu, 22, is the next one in court in the WTA 1000 tournament in Indian Wells, which starts a week on Wednesday. The Californian event is only surpassed by the Grand Slams in importance and, according to the reports, the British is anxious to play and move from the recent heartbreaking experience.
And the event organizers, anxious to have one of the greatest raffles in the female game on board, have been making special arrangements to ensure that it is as sure as possible, according to The times.
The formidable security vice president of the WTA Tour, Bob Campbell, is responsible for guaranteeing arrangements for the tournament next week and has a record to protect some of the most specific people on the planet.

The British will be anxious to play in Indian Wells, which is one of the largest tournaments on the tour.
Campbell was a secret service agent for 1983 and 2003, and it is understood that he had an outstanding role during Bill Clinton's presidency before moving to the sport with Major League Baseball. He joined the WTA in his current role in 2013.
Raducanu's security has been under the microscope after Roman Kelecic, who has temporarily training Raducanu, said that Dubai's stalker had been following her from one tournament to another in a tournament in four countries.
He said: 'This man followed Singapore, Abu Dhabi, where he was with her, again in Doha, now in Dubai and we noticed it.
“Initially we thought it was a fan … Until he approached her physically, she began to have contact in the form of selfies, hugging.”
Since then, Raducanu has retired the legal positions against man in the United Arab Emirates after “signed a formal company to maintain the distance from it.” It has also been prohibited by the WTA of future tournaments.
