A new monitoring service will help protect tennis players from online abuse and threats, the International Tennis Federation and other governing bodies said Wednesday.
In their joint announcement, ITF, U.S. Tennis Association, the All England Club and the women’s WTA tour said the “Threat Matrix” service will operate in 35 languages when it launches January 1.
“Tennis players are subject to significant levels of social media abuse and other inappropriate online contact, which poses risks to preparation, performance and mental health,” the statement read. “The Threat Matrix service will support the identification of abusers, against whom all available measures will be taken.”
