A man who was handed a restraining order for stalking Emma Raducanu has been caught trying to buy Wimbledon tickets.
The man’s name was spotted by the All England Club’s security system as he attempted to apply for the public ballot.
The stalker was given a restraining order for ‘fixated behaviour’ towards RaducanuGettyBBC Sport revealed that the system found the name that had been red-flagged and blocked it from being able to buy tickets.
Raducanu will be featuring at Wimbledon this summer, with the tournament getting started on June 30.
The British No.1 was left visibly shaken after she spotted the man in the crowd during a match at the Dubai Open in February.
The individual had approached her twice off-court, before the ordeal continued whilst she was on it, as she faced Karolina Muchova.
He was said to have first approached Raducanu at a public cafe near the tournament hotel, handing her a letter containing his personal details and taking a photograph.
Roman Kelecic, who coached Raducanu as a junior and was seen working with her earlier this year, alleged the man in question also trailed her in Singapore, the UAE and Qatar in the same month.
Straight after the incident, the WTA released a statement revealing that the individual in question would be banned from all future events on the tour, having ‘exhibited fixated behaviour’ towards her.
And the man was given a restraining order by Dubai police, with his name passed around to all tennis authorities.
Raducanu opted against pressing charges after he was detained.
Speaking about the ordeal that occurred during her match in Dubai, the 22-year-old explained: “I saw him in the first game of the match and I was like, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to finish’.
Raducanu was left in tears after seeing the stalker in the crowdGetty“I literally couldn’t see the ball through tears. I could barely breathe. I was like, ‘I need to just take a breather’.”
She then added a month afterwards: “Since that incident, I have definitely got increased attention and greater security.
“All we can do is look at what happened and react to it in a better way, in a more positive way, rather than looking back and blaming the situation.
“Now it is being dealt with better, so for me that’s important.
“I’m always now very aware and not necessarily doing things on my own any more. I’m always with someone and always being watched.”
Raducanu also went on to delete her Instagram account just a few weeks later after the horrifying ordeal.
She has since had no problems caused by the stalker at tournaments, but the All England Club have now blocked another potential scare.
The British sensation will be hoping for success at Wimbledon this summer amid some continuing injury issues.
Raducanu had to pull out of the Berlin Open due to back problems.
She will begin her tournament at SW19 on Monday, June 30.
