The LTA have confirmed they've reached out to Emma Raducanu to offer support after her horrifying ordeal at the Dubai Tennis Championships.
Raducanu was in action in the second round of the Dubai Tennis Championships against world No 17 Karolina Muchova when she became distressed on court.
The British No 2 struggled to fight back tears in the first set and hid behind the umpire's chair at one point.
There was a brief pause in the match before play resumed with a man being removed from the court, who displayed 'fixated behaviour'.

The WTA later confirmed that the spectator had approached Raducanu earlier in the tournament.
According to the Telegraph, Raducanu was handed a letter by the man at her hotel before appearing at her match against Muchova.
The governing body for British tennis have now issued a statement in support of Raducanu.
An LTA spokesperson said: "This incident once again highlights issues around safety that all players, but female players in particular, can face.
"We have support available for British players and have been in contact with Emma and her team following the events in Dubai.

"The tours have strong processes in place already and we will continue to work together along with police and security providers to deal with situations like this robustly."
The WTA also confirmed the spectator would be banned from all WTA events in the future.
They added: "Player safety is our top priority, and tournaments are advised on security best practices for international sporting events.
"The WTA is actively working with Emma and her team to ensure her well-being and provide any necessary support.
"We remain committed to collaborating with tournaments and their security teams worldwide to maintain a safe environment for all players."

The incident comes three years after Amrit Magar was convicted of stalking Raducanu between November 1 and December 4, 2021.
Magar turned up outside Raducanu's home on three occasions and left unwanted gifts and stole property.
He was handed a five-year restraining order after making Raducanu feel like she was 'constantly looking over her shoulder'.
