00:00Emma Raducanu was left shaken after a man exhibiting fixated behaviour disturbed her
00:07match at the Dubai Tennis Championships. The individual, who had approached Raducanu in
00:12a public area before appearing courtside, was ejected and banned from all WTA events.
00:19The 22-year-old Brit alerted the chair umpire before the man was removed, with opponent
00:24Carolina Muchova offering comfort. Despite the unsettling incident, Raducanu continued
00:29her match but fell to a straight-sets defeat. The WTA has emphasised that player safety
00:35remains a top priority and security measures are constantly reviewed to ensure protection
00:41for athletes at events worldwide.
00:45At Chelsea, the club's attacking crisis deepens with no fit senior strikers available and
00:50so Maresca is scrambling for solutions. Maresca hinted at tactical changes but the team's
00:56to recruit an elite striker, despite spending £1.5bn since the club's takeover, remains
01:02a glaring issue.
01:03It's not only Paul Palme frustrated, we are all in the same. In this moment you cannot
01:09offer this kind of performance with 14 games to go, now 13 games to go.
01:17Meanwhile, Arsenal's Declan Rice has unexpectedly become a key attacking presence, earning the
01:23horse for his relentless energy. With Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz now injured, Rice has
01:29pushed forward, making late runs into the box and contributing more in the final third.
01:34Mikel Arteta has urged him to add more goals, knowing his athleticism and work rate could
01:39be crucial in Arsenal's Premier League title challenge.
