Iga Swiatek, Danielle Collins and Frances Tiafoe were among some of top players who came out in support of Caroline Garcia after the Frenchwoman called out online abuse after her first-round exit at the 2024 US Open.
The World No. 30 suffered a 6-1, 6-4 loss against Renata Zarazua on Tuesday, August 27. Next day, Garcia shared a few abusive messages and threats that she received online following her defeat.She took to X (formerly Twitter) to speak up against the hateful nature of the messages.
“This are some of the messages I received lately after loosing some matches. Just a few of them. There’s hundreds. And now, being 30 years old, although they still hurt, because at the end of the day, I’m just a normal girl working really hard and trying my best, I have tools and have done work to protect myself from this hate. But still, this is not ok,” she wrote.
