British tennis player Jodie Burrage has received death threats following her return to the WTA Tour, according to a report by BBC Sport journalist Timothy Abraham. Burrage, who reached a career-high ranking of 85th in the world in September 2023, has been targeted with abusive messages as she resumes competition.
The threats highlight ongoing concerns about player safety and online abuse in professional tennis. Burrage's return to tour-level competition has been met with hostility rather than support, raising questions about the protection afforded to athletes facing such harassment.
