U.S. Tennis Star Jessica Pegula Received Death Threats At French Open

Sports fans have crossed the line before, but what Jessica Pegula dealt with at the French Open is truly unforgivable. 

Pegula's run at the French Open was cut short due to an upset loss to Lois Boisson on Monday. As that fourth-round match was being played, she received countless death threats and hateful messages on Instagram. 

Some of those messages were shared by Pegula on Wednesday. We're only going to share a couple since they're quite disturbing. 

"You sold this match on purpose. Can't wait until Karma spends the block back on you," one person said. 

"Just quit playing tennis and enjoy your father's money! You are literally the most useless top 10 player ever," another person told Pegula.  

Pegula then delivered a message to angry gamblers who feel the need to bombard her social media page.

"These betters are insane and delusional and I don't allow dms and try to remember when to shut my comments off during tournament weeks but they always find a way to my timeline," Pegula wrote on her Instagram Story. "This stuff has never really bothered me much but does any other sport deal with this to our level? I'd love to know because it seems to be predominately tennis?? It's so disturbing. 

"Every person on tour deals with it. It's so bad. Those are just really small snippets. I get told my family should get cancer and die from people on here on a regular basis. Absolutely crazy."
