The last month and a half in the tennis world has been marked by the growing threats that many players have received on their personal phones, a problem that the ATP and WTA are trying to tackle before it becomes irreversible. The latest to be affected is the Hungarian player Panna Udvardy, who reported that, unless she lost her match at the Antalya WTA event, someone would harm her family members, providing details such as addresses, phone numbers, and the cars they used.
