INDIAN WELLS, California (Reuters) - Former U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu said she could not see the ball through tears and was barely able to breathe after noticing a stalker during her match at the Dubai Championships two weeks ago.

Raducanu looked distressed during the opening set of her second-round clash against Karolina Muchova and stood behind the umpire's chair as security personnel led the man out.
