Iga Świątek was targeted with “threats” and “hate speech” from a spectator at the Miami Open and has been given extra security for the tournament, her spokesperson told CNN Sports.

A man shouted personal insults about Swiatek's family and had previously sent abusive online messages to her through social media.

World No. 2 Iga Swiatek has been granted extra security after an incident in which an unruly fan verbally abused her during a practice session at the Miami Open last weekend, according to a report by the BBC.
