Wimbledon chief Sally Bolton has confirmed that security measures will be ramped up at SW19 this year.

It comes after Emma Raducanu was targeted by a stalker during a match against Karolina Muchova in February.

Bolton said: “The safety and wellbeing of all of the players is our absolute top priority.

“I think the recent incidents coming to light certainly recognise the concern generated by that.

“But we have in place, and have had for many years, processes for ensuring the safety of our players.

“That is in liaison with law enforcement agencies, specialist security teams and we liaise with both tours.

“It is a bit like the broader security for the grounds. We are putting in place measures that are reflective of the threat and risk profile at the time.”
