I find the following story somewhat disappointing but there's always a f...wit or two in every crowd. A tennis professional is expected to do a lot to win at that level however they should not be subjected to this sort of behaviour from brain dead spectators. Whether you like a player or not, they are there for your entertainment, not to abuse....
REIGNING Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki says she and her family were targets of verbal abuse and threats from the crowd during her Miami Open loss to Monica Puig.
In a statement on Saturday posted on Twitter, Wozniacki said the tournament did nothing to prevent the abuse.
Tournament director James Blake responded that while the crowd was “loud and passionate,” Miami Open staff, WTA Tour officials and courtside security were unaware during the match of any threats made.
