Seeded no.2, Caroline Wozniacki crashed out in her opening match in Miami at the hands of Monica Puig after she bagelled the Puerto Rican in the first set before losing 0-6 6-4 6-4.
Monica had the full support of the local crowd during the match, but unfortunately, things went definitely too far.
Death threats
Caroline tweeted
“Last night I lost a tough match to a great opponent and friend Monica Puig at the Miami Open. I am fully aware that tennis is a game of wins and losses.
However, during the match last night people in the crowd threatened my family, wished death upon my mom and dad, called me names that I can’t repeat here and told my Fiancé’s niece and nephew (who are 10 years old) to sit down and shut the f*g.k up, meanwhile security and staff did nothing to prevent this and even accepted this to take place.
While I always encourage fans to cheer for their favorite player, and I thrive on a challenging atmosphere, when certain lines are crossed, it makes tennis miserable for both competitors. I hope the Miami Open chooses to take this seriously because it’s a horrible example to set for the next generation of tennis players and fans. I wish Monica all the best for the rest of the tournament.”
Love, Caroline
That’s really not good.
