Insults and death threats are increasingly present in the world of tennis, especially through social media where there is a free rein to do anything. However, everything has a limit, and Spanish tennis player Marina Bassols has had enough. After receiving messages like "I'm going to kill you" or "be clear, you are dead," she has posted a video seeking to put an end to this scourge. "I speak from anger, but also from sadness, for many years there have been many insults of all kinds. But in my last match, they were not only that, they were also death threats. It's outrageous the messages we receive and, even worse, normalize. We are people who go out on the court to compete, to give it our all, to work towards our goals and I am not responsible for anyone's bets," lamented the WTA's 205th ranked player.

The Belgian opens up weeks after ending his collaboration with the Polish player: "The coach is always the first one to leave, it's part of the job and you have to accept it."
Before heading to the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo, Stefanos Tsitsipas took part in the UTS exhibition in Nimes. There, in a series of quick questions, he was asked if he preferred a girlfriend who played tennis or not, to which the Greek confessed he prefers not: "Trust me. Even if you don't want to admit there's competitiveness, there always is." To this, Paula Badosa, his former partner, didn't hesitate to respond with four laughing face emojis in a comment on Instagram.
