After Emma Raducanu's loss at Wimbledon yesterday, the Observer (as yet not online) have a piece wondering why her form is uneven & she only gets so far in competitions, but fails to mention the aggressive stalkers that she has been confronting.

Many players have to deal with these problems, but its clear its had a major impact on her game.

That's not her fault, it is testament to the trouble men can cause women in their careers in any job;

victim blaming is always wrong!
