PHONE IN
Katie Boulter had just lost a tie-break at the French Open when the death threats started. It did not matter that the Briton would go on to win the match. 'Hope you get cancer,' said one message. Another - laced with expletives - referenced damaging her 'grandmother's grave if she's not dead by tomorrow' and 'candles and a coffin for your entire family'. A third said: 'Go to hell, I lost money my mother sent me.' The British number two's response, as she reads through them 10 days later, is a mix of despair, resignation and fear. Boulter says abusive content like this has become 'the norm'. 'It becomes more apparent every single time you go on your phone. I think it increases in number and it also increases in the level of things that people say. I don't think there's anything off the cards now.'

As she reflects on the messages she receives, she says it is hard to differentiate between those that constitute a genuine risk and those that do not. 'I think it just kind of shows how vulnerable we are,' Boulter says. 'You really don't know if this person is on site. You really don't know if they're nearby or if they know where you live or anything like that.'

Kaye asks: do we need to take online abuse more seriously?
