LONDON–Angry gamblers were responsible for nearly half of the 12,000 abusive social-media posts aimed at tennis players this year, according to a report published on Thursday.

The study, undertaken by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) and the United States Tennis Association (USTA) monitored 2.47 million posts across several platforms using an artificial intelligence (AI) detection system.

As well as the 15 accounts flagged to law enforcement agencies, the study also found that a smaller number of accounts, 52 in total, were responsible for prolific abuse.

With tennis popular on betting sites, gamblers were responsible for 48% of abuse, the report found, while sexist and inappropriate comments were the most common flagged posts.

The Threat Matrix system works in 39 languages and currently protects nearly 8,000 players, the tennis organizations said.

Former world number one Victoria Azarenka said the new tool in highlighting abuse was essential.

“No one should have to endure the hate that so many of us have faced through these platforms,” she said.
