Britain’s young tennis star Emma Raducanu has reactivated her account on the social media platform Instagram. The 22-year-old has been going through a difficult patch, not just on the court but off the court as well.
Raducanu, who was once regarded as the next big thing after winning the US Open at the age of just 18, had to deal with a stalker at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship. That incident was followed by an unimpressive outing at the Indian Wells, where she was knocked out after losing in the round of 128 to Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-2. Recently, it was reported that Raducanu had deleted her account on the social media platform Instagram. However, she has now returned to Instagram after a gap of two days.
After that incident in Dubai, Raducanu was quoted in a report where she explained the horror she had to deal with while facing the stalker in Dubai. The former world number 13 stated that because of having tears in her eyes, she could hardly see the ball during the contest against Karolina Muchova in the second round.
"I was obviously very distraught,” she said. “I saw him in the first game of the match and I was like, I don't know how I'm going to finish. I literally couldn't see the ball through tears. I could barely breathe. I was like, I need to just take a breather here. It was a very emotional time. After the match I did break down in tears, but not necessarily because I lost. There was just so much emotion in the last few weeks of the events happening, and I just needed that week off to take a breather and come here. I feel a lot better. [It] could have been dealt with better.

- Having watched the relationship between Martinez and Mirra over the past two seasons, at matches and on television, the nearly symbiotic connection is impressive. I've picked-up on signals from Martinez as well as sitting near enough to hear her instructions. I have learned an incredible amount about the subtle things in tennis from her coaching techniques just by hearing what she tells Andreeva during matches. Recently Martinez was telling us how Mirra "is a sponge" -- learning from, and listening to, everything around her. Apparently Mirra is an enthusiastic, extremely willing student of the game who loves her coach like a big sister. The best part of all is how refreshing it is to see all the 'Goodness' these two exude. Something we desperately need in today's world.
