Raducanu is likely to be flanked by increased security at the event.<\/p>\n
The WTA, whose full-time security arm is led by former US Secret Service agent Bob Campbell, says it can provide enhanced security if a player has been the target of a credible threat.<\/p>\n
Players are usually escorted to and from the match court by at least one security officer.<\/p>\n
But the Dubai incident raised questions about the security measures in place to protect players.<\/p>\n
Raducanu had spotted the man in the first few rows of the stand during her match against Karolina Muchova.<\/p>\n
A day before, Raducanu was approached by the same man in a public area close to the tournament.<\/p>\n
Police said he gave the 2021 US Open champion a letter, which sources told BBC Sport included his name and telephone number, and took a photograph.<\/p>\n
After raising her concerns with the WTA, the tournament’s security team were informed and told to be on alert.<\/p>\n
However, the man was still able to enter the small stadium where Raducanu played later that evening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
