Emma Raducanu says her recent stalking ordeal "could have been dealt with better", but believes lessons have already been learnt.
Speaking publicly for the first time since the incident a fortnight ago, the 22-year-old Briton described to BBC Sport the "very emotional weeks" in which she was followed to four tournaments by the same man.
Raducanu was visibly upset after seeing the man in the stands during her second-round match in Dubai.
He was removed and later given a restraining order by police.
"I think that since that incident I have definitely got increased attention and greater security," said Raducanu, who was speaking before he return to action in Indian Wells.
