Katie Boulter has shown on several occasions the hate messages she has received, as have many other tennis players, on social media after a defeat. The Briton suffered a particularly intense wave of insults after losing at Roland Garros and spoke about it with the BBC. One message read, "I hope you have cancer," and another threatened her entire family, including her grandmother. "It's horrible, I wonder in what state these people are who send these messages. It makes me feel vulnerable because I don't know how close they may be to me and if their threats are real," she explained.

"I hope you get cancer."

No player should suffer social media abuse like this…
