Emma Raducanu says Wimbledon did ‘an amazing job’ to prevent stalker from buying tickets to SW19


Raducanu shot to worldwide fame when she won the US Open as an 18-year-old in 2021.

She has previously been the victim of a stalker, with another man given a five-year restraining order in 2022 after he walked 23 miles to her home.

The Englishwoman has often had a greater security detail with her at tournaments since the upsetting incident in Dubai, and says she now feels “comfortable and safe” on tour.

“I’ve had great protection whenever I have been at these events recently,” she continued.

“I have a lot more protection around me – especially the ones here in the UK, where it’s busy and there’s more spectators around.

“I feel a difference, and that reassures me and makes me feel more comfortable.”

Sally Bolton, chief executive of All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) told BBC Sport they spend a lot of time on ensuring security measures are tight at Wimbledon.

In addition to screening around the ballot, there are more checks and balances when it comes to those in the queue.
