WTA later issued an official statement in which she explained the incident.
“On Monday, a man, who was strangely behaved, approached EMI Raducan in a public place. The same person was seen on the forum during the Emin Match and then removed.”
Once the situation was resolved by moving the problematic fan, the match continued. Despite the obvious emotional stress, Raducan provided strong resistance, but in the end it was still defeated by Much’s 7: 6, 6: 4.
This is not the first time that tennis players face unpleasant situations related to fans, and WTA showed determination in the rapid resolution of such incidents to ensure the safety of players, “24samam”.
