Wimbledon hopeful Katie Boulter has revealed she is sent 'astronomical levels' of death threats and messages about her performance and how she looks.
The 28-year-old British number two explained how most of the abuse she receives comes from 'people who are betting on the tennis'.
Speaking to the BBC, Katie said: 'At the very start of my career, it was probably something I took very personally. Getting comments about the way you look or the way you've played or many other things.
'As far as death threats, it's just not something you want to be reading straight after an emotional loss, or even a lot of times you get it after you win as well. It depends which way the person has bet.'
Katie, who was yesterday knocked down from the top spot of Britain's number one by Emma Raducanu, has been named as 'one to watch' at Wimbledon this year.
