Latvian tennis player Jelena Ostapenko has faced various challenges during her recent tournament appearances. In August, following a retirement from her second-round match at the Canadian Open due to injury, Ostapenko reported receiving a flood of abusive online messages, including body-shaming and life-threatening comments. She noted that many of these remarks originated from gamblers. The WTA responded by utilizing an AI-driven tool, the Threat Matrix, which identified that approximately 40% of the harassment came from bettors. In September, ~~Ostapenko began her~~ Ostapenko’s US Open campaign ~~against Tatjana Maria.~~ ended in the first round.
