Emma Raducanu's coach recalls terrifying moment she noticed 'stalker' at match

This man followed her to Singapore, to Abu Dhabi - where I was with her - again in Doha, now in Dubai and we noticed him,

Kelecic told Croatian outlet Net

Mr Parche has admitted that he stalked me, then he stabbed me once and attempted to stab me a second time

She said after sentencing

I didn’t really know what was coming, I was going out in the street and everyone is suddenly saying, “That’s the girl”.

She told the veteran sportswriter

It had damaged the muscles and tissues surrounding my left shoulder blade, but my surgeons were cautiously optimistic that I'd make a full recovery

Describing her recovery, the star revealed how she was flown to a Colorado clinic where surgeons assessed the damage, saying

He gets to go back to his life, but I can't because I am still recovering from his attack, which could have killed me.

Gunter Parche was given a two-year suspended sentence for the attack; ... Seles said at the time

My head whipped around towards where it hurt and I saw a man wearing a baseball cap, a sneer across his face

She added

It’s kind of normal nowadays. It’s a weird world sometimes."

Such experiences have become depressingly routine for Boulter, who went on to add

Thank you for the messages of support. Difficult experience yesterday, but I’ll be okay and proud of how I came back and competed despite what happened at the start of the match,

Sportswomen are all too often subjected to excessive expectations to open up their personal lives to the public through social media in order to sort out a horrible history of exclusion and lack of visibility and investment,

All high-profile sportspeople suffer a level of public scrutiny and abuse but for women there is a whole extra sphere of horror,
