A prominent Emma Raducanu superfan was ejected from the Australian Open by police during Alex De Minaur's third-round match. James Bray, known for cheering 'Raddo', was removed for being "too rowdy" while supporting the home favourite against Frances Tiafoe. He documented the incident on Instagram, claiming he paid $700 for his ticket and was simply cheering.

Bray had gained media attention after Raducanu thanked him during her first-round win and secured him a ticket for her second-round match. His removal highlights the strict security protocols at major tennis tournaments, where crowd conduct is closely monitored, especially during matches involving popular local players like De Minaur.

The incident occurred as De Minaur battled Tiafoe in a key match on Friday night. Tournament organisers have been contacted for comment. For Bray, a self-described passionate supporter, the 24-hour ban means he cannot continue his run of supporting Australian players at Melbourne Park.
