# Tennis: Ukrainian player Elina Svitolina blames disgruntled gamblers for online abuse, including death threats, after she lost to Japan’s Naomi Osaka in the semifinal of the Canadian Open. She posted some of the messages on social media, saying the way the senders talk to women or mothers were shameful. Some of the messages refer to the ongoing war between Svitolina’s country and Russia. A recent study shows angry gamblers were responsible for nearly half of all the abuse directed at players on social media last year.
