Raducanu was followed to four tournaments by the same man, who approached her near the player hotel in Dubai the day before her second-round match with Karolina Muchova.<\/p>\n
He gave her a letter and took her photo, which understandably unnerved Raducanu, who had been aware of his presence at tournaments in Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Doha in preceding weeks.<\/p>\n
Although she reported it to a member of her team, the information was not passed on to the WTA or the tournament until the following day, leaving security staff with just a few hours to prepare.<\/p>\n
After taking a week off, Raducanu decided to return and play at Indian Wells.<\/p>\n
“They were very emotional weeks, because it had carried on for a few weeks before,” Raducanu said.<\/p>\n
“It was quite tiring. I took a week break when I got home in England and I then decided to come here.”<\/p>\n
Having decided to make the journey to Indian Wells – one of the biggest events outside of the four majors – Raducanu has been surprised by how much happier she has been feeling since arriving in California.<\/p>\n
Raducanu will play Moyuka Uchijima of Japan in the first round on Thursday, with the winner to face American third seed Coco Gauff in round two.<\/p>\n
“Since being here in this environment, which is one of my favourite tournaments, I have felt a lot better,” Raducanu said.<\/p>\n
“The allure of Indian Wells was a big part of me coming. I wasn’t sure if I was going to come and compete so soon. <\/p>\n
“I just wanted to make sure I was ready but since coming here I have surprised myself with how happy I feel here.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
