Emma Raducanu- The dangers of stalking: How Conflict International can help protect high-profile individuals
In a recent incident at the Dubai Tennis Championships, British tennis star Emma Raducanu faced a distressing encounter with a fan exhibiting "fixated behaviour." The individual approached her at her hotel, presenting a letter, and subsequently attended her match against Karolina Muchova. During the match, Raducanu noticed the man in the crowd, leading her to pause the game and seek refuge behind the umpire's chair. Event security intervened, removing the man from the venue and imposing a ban on his attendance at all Women's Tennis Association (WTA) events pending a threat assessment. This unsettling experience mirrors a previous stalking incident Raducanu endured in London three years prior.
Stalking incidents like these highlight the profound impact such behaviour can have on individuals, affecting their personal safety, mental well-being, and professional performance. Recognising the severity of stalking, Conflict International offers specialised services to support victims and mitigate these threats effectively.
