According to foreign media such as the New York Post, Mujoba, ranked 13th in the world, participated in the U.S. Open tennis on the 28th (local time), suddenly stopped, pointed to the stands, and wiped his face with a towel after losing 1-4 to Sorana Sirstea. She apologized to the referee for the delay and continued the game in tears.
Competition officials and spectators were puzzled by the appearance. She took a deep breath and focused on the game again, eventually winning.
In a post-match press conference, Mujoba said "It was not about tennis," he said, explaining the situation at the time. "There was an ex-boyfriend sitting across from the bench. He sometimes shows up where he shouldn't be. I was surprised at that moment, and I asked him to leave, but he didn't go out at first, but he ended up leaving. It was difficult to concentrate on the game at the time."
According to tournament regulations, players can block certain people from purchasing tickets or issuing passes, but Muhova reportedly did not make such a request.
After beating fellow Czech player Linda Noskova two days later, Muhova said "Now it's okay. Everything worked out well,' he told reporters.
When asked if something similar is unlikely to happen again in the future, "Well, who knows. I don't know either."
Meanwhile, at Wimbledon in July, British tennis player Emma Raducanu (22) burst into tears after finding the man who bullied her in Dubai in the stands during a game. The man was ordered off limits and banned from selling tickets.
