Katie Boulter: British tennis player reveals social media abuse she has received

Britain's Katie Boulter speaks exclusively to BBC Sport about the levels of social media abuse she receives.

Tennis fans are no better than anyone else, no matter how posh they act when cameras are around.

Fucking shocking behaviour.

Not sure they can be classed as tennis fans, rather gambling addicts betting on anything they can, and dribbling morons to boot. My 7 year old could write more articulate threats.

Agree that it's absolutely shocking behaviour though. I can't wrap my head around why anyone would ever do it. It just seems unimginable to me that people feel the need to actually send messages like that, but also feel that they are within their rights to do so. It's utterly crazy.

People are weird.

On a lower level you have this guy on twitter who calls himself "spring onion" in various languages and makes several posts a day with completely made up transfer bollocks to troll the forest timeline

And on here you have Blackgold, who posts at a very high rate with the sole purpose of trolling this forum. It is amazing how much time he takes out of his life to say things he doesn't even believe just to elicit a response from those that don't already ignore him.

These are two examples close to home. Unfortunately it's not surprise to see people then doing far worse

Are you Arne Slot, chap?

BBC Sport headline:

"Dozens fall ill in heat at Royal Ascot"

So sad. Just goes to show money can't buy you happiness, but as long as you've got your health you're all right.

Sorry, I'm rambling. It's the heat...

Are they referring to the punters or the horses?

England all out for 407

6 out for 0
1 out for 5
2 out for a combined 41

So 9 of our batters collectively contributed 46 runs!
 
Watching Raducanu giving the world's best player a right good game.
What a weird player. Wins the US open as a kid then does nothing for years now this.

Great win from the Lions with a last minute try to clinch the game. Great morning from England cricket team, good to see proper test match batting & cricket

What a game of rugby that was, and that ending was sensational

If the Aussie hadn’t thrown himself to the floor like Bruno Fernandes some 5 seconds after the tackle, he may have had the try disallowed

Enjoyed that game but, theatrics apart, I think the try should have been disallowed. The ref said they arrived at the same time, sorry I didn’t see it that way.
