Tennis star Iga Swiatek was threatened by a man during the tournament in Miami during the tournament in Miami during the tournament in Miami. The incident occurred last Saturday, the British broadcaster reported, citing the management of the 23 -year -old Polish.
The man was aggressive and sneering, the management said. Before that, he had already sent her insulting news about social media.
“The incident in Miami seems to be a direct transition from verbal online aggression to a threat in the real world,” said “BBC” from the management.
Swiatek also focus on doping lock
Neither the organizers nor the women’s professional organization WTA confirmed the incident or increased security measures. The WTA said that extensive security protocols would apply to ensure that any incidents were handled quickly and effectively.
SWIATEK was tested positively for the heart remedy Trimetazidin last August. The four-time French Open winner attributed this to a contaminated medicine and served a one-month lock. The world-anti-doping agency considered the information plausible and refrained from an objection.
