Emma Raducanu says she will be OK after a "difficult experience" where she was targeted by a man who "exhibited fixated behaviour" at the Dubai Tennis Championships.

An emotional Raducanu was seen hiding behind the umpire's chair two games into the second-round defeat by Karolina Muchova.

The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) said the 22-year-old had been approached by a man who "exhibited fixated behaviour" on Monday and the same individual was "identified in the first few rows during Emma's match" on Tuesday.

Raducanu alerted the chair umpire to the situation and was comforted by 14th seed Muchova as the individual was removed from court three.
