Raducanu achieved worldwide fame when she won the US Open in 2021 as an 18-year-old.
She has previously been the victim of a stalker, with another man given a five-year restraining order in 2022 after walking 23 miles to her house.
The Englishwoman had worked with her to increase security at tournaments following the disturbing incident in Dubai, and praised the events for the protection she received.
In June, Raducanu told BBC Sport that she felt safer at tournaments but was still wary when going out.
She is training with coach Francisco Roig in Barcelona this month but has spent much of the past few weeks traveling by train to London from her parents’ home in Bromley.
Raducanu said she had considered taking a vacation after ending her season early due to illness and a foot problem, but wanted to experience the comforts of home.
“I’ve hardly been to Britain this year because I’ve been competing so much, but spending quality time with my parents has been so much fun,” she said.
“It reminds me of when I was younger: same bedroom, same everything.”
Although traveling during rush hour is an experience in itself, Raducanu says she is becoming increasingly comfortable being recognized in public.
“During rush hour, people are so locked in their world. They don’t really pay attention and probably don’t expect to see me,” she said.
“I’ve got my hood up or whatever, but they’re just so focused and lost in their own world.
‘It’s all so crazy. It’s like everyone is on a mission. You have to get the elbows out to get through.
“If people recognize me, if people see me and want to come to me, then that’s great, but I don’t necessarily feel like I’m hiding from anything anymore.”
