Emma Raducanu, a former British No. 1 ranked tennis player, stopped a match in Dubai to ask the umpire to remove a man who she said had been stalking her. Reportedly, he approached her in a public place the day prior. Tournament officials ejected the man from the match and he has been banned from World Tennis Association games. The incident was a reminder of the harassment looming over female sports celebrities, and the particular challenges around minimizing risk. Marco Werman speaks with Lindsay Gibbs, a sports reporter who writes the Power Plays newsletter about sexism in sports.
