Raducanu waives complaint against man who caused her ‘visible distress’ at Dubai Championships

BEIRUT: British tennis star Emma Raducanu has waived her complaint against an unidentified tourist who caused her “visible distress” during the Dubai Championships earlier this week.

He’ll face Canada’s Félix Auger-Aliassime, who beat Daniil Medvedev when the Russian retired after losing the first set 6-3. “I felt he was playing normal,” Auger-Aliassime said on court. “And then I broke, I held my serve.
