Raducanu had been competing in the second round of the Dubai Open against Karolina Muchova when she paused the match and was overcome with emotions, positioning herself behind the umpire’s chair while the spectator was removed. “I was very distraught,” said Raducanu as she prepares for the Indian Wells Open. “I saw him first game of the match, and I was like, ‘I don’t know how I’m gonna finish’.”
