The world of tennis is once again plunged into a sad episode related, apparently, to betting issues. The French tennis player Alexandre Muller reported receiving death threats after being eliminated from the tournament Stop.
Muller, number 103 in the world ranking, lost this Tuesday in the first round of the Swedish tournament against the Kazakh Denis Yevyesev, who beat him in doubles 7-5. Yevyesev, who came from the qualifying phase, is number 160 in the world and, therefore, does not seem like an a priori favorite.
Muller denounced the threats on social media. “Son of a bitch, you’re dead. You’re going to die because I’m going to shoot you in the head. You’re dead, you son of a bitch,” began the messages Muller received. “I hope your whole family dies of cancer,” they concluded. In addition, the player received an image of a gun with several bullets.
