Emma Raducanu has praised Wimbledon after her stalker was blocked from buying tickets to this year's event.

The man, who was previously given a restraining order by Dubai police after stalking the British former US Open Champion at four successive tennis tournaments in Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Dubai, had his name red-flagged on the All England Club’s security system.

He was blocked from entering the public ballot.

"I got a notification, the police contacted me and told me and assured everything was good," Raducanu told BBC Sport.
