Emma Raducanu appears to have deleted her Instagram page just weeks after being forced to deal with a fixated spectator at the Dubai Tennis Championships.<\/p>\n
Fans noticed on Thursday morning that the 22-year-old\u2019s profile could no longer be found on the social media site.<\/p>\n
Raducanu<\/a> had over three million followers on the site and was one of the most-followed tennis players, with it unclear if this is a temporary social media break or a long-term decision to leave.<\/p>\n The former US Open champion\u2019s profile on Twitter\/X and page on Facebook are both still live, and it is not yet known if the Brit will also choose to remove her presence from those platforms as well.<\/p>\n Raducanu has not posted on Twitter\/X since February 1st, though her last Facebook post came on March 4th, ahead of her Indian Wells campaign.<\/p>\n Indian Wells was Raducanu\u2019s first tournament since the former world No 10 endured a nightmare stalking ordeal in Dubai, with the Brit noticeably disturbed during her match against Karolina Muchova.<\/p>\n The world No 55 had been approached by an unnamed spectator earlier in the week off-court and was left in tears when she noticed the same spectator was present courtside for her match.<\/p>\n The spectator was moved from the stadium, and a restraining order was put in place for the 22-year-old, who decided not to press charges.<\/p>\n Concerns about Raducanu\u2019s personal safety were high in the aftermath of the incident and, speaking ahead of Indian Wells, she opened up about the precautions in place.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to feel protected, to feel safe,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Mike [the head of her security detail] does an amazing job of just staying in the shadows. He\u2019s always there, but you can\u2019t necessarily see him.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I\u2019m away from the courts, I don\u2019t have private security right now, but I\u2019m always with someone who could raise the alarm or could help in a scenario.<\/p>\n \u201cWhereas before I maybe would have gone on walks alone, I\u2019m pretty much chaperoned everywhere.<\/p>\n Coco Gauff crashes out in Indian Wells as recurring problem continues to haunt her<\/a><\/p>\n Novak Djokovic\u2019s \u2018real handicap\u2019 highlighted by Steffi Graf\u2019s ex-coach amid form struggles<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cSecurity is very important. Even the player hotel [name] is public information: that\u2019s not necessarily the most helpful and anyone can walk in. So that\u2019s obviously a weak spot there \u2013 but I do my best.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m always, now even more so, very aware and very alert and sensitive and don\u2019t really go anywhere on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n Raducanu\u2019s departure from Instagram could spark further fears that she is struggling following her ordeal in Dubai, and with a tricky run of form at the start of 2025.<\/p>\n The Brit has won just three of her nine WTA Tour matches this season and was beaten 6-3, 6-2 by Moyuka Uchijima in her opening Indian Wells match.<\/p>\n Raducanu will next be in action at the Miami Open, which begins next week.<\/p>\n Read Next<\/strong>:\u00a02025 Miami Open: When is the draw?
