- A coach who works with Raducanu said that man followed her in all countries
- The man, who showed 'fixed behavior', has received a restriction order
A coach who was with Emma Raducanu in Dubai said that the man who received a restriction order had followed her from one tournament to another from Singapore.
In his second round in Dubai Raducanu he filled with crying for the view of a man of the crowd.
It arose that this individual had been showing signs of “fixed behavior” and had already approached it once that week.
And now Roman Kelecic, who has been helping Raducanu temporarily while looking for a new permanent coach, has given an interview with a Croatian website.
“This man followed Singapore, Abu Dhabi, where he was with her, again in Doha, now in Dubai and we noticed it,” Kelecic told Croatian Outlet Net.
“Initially we thought it was a fan … Until he approached her physically, she began to have contact in the form of selfies, hugging.”
