Shadow of fear


Tennis player Emma Raducanu said she could barely breathe when she spotted her stalker, who had previously approached her in Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Doha, in the crowd at the Dubai Championships.

EMMA Raducanu described being unable to see the ball through her tears after spotting a stalker at a match last month, and the image of the British tennis player taking refuge behind the umpire’s chair encapsulated the darker side of women’s sport.

On March 8, the International Women’s Day was celebrated under the theme, “For all women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.”
