"It is not healthy and correct to receive so many insults and threats": Musetti moves to remove comments from Instagram posts

"Hi everyone! Just wanted to clarify about the comments story above my posts here on IG and why I did that! I think is not healthy and correct to receive after a loss so many free insults and threats over families or person you really love. We are professional tennis players, we love tennis and we live for that! But we are also people who have feelings and we have ups and downs like everyone has and we work every day to get better and to do better!

I'm sure the real tennis fans can understand my decision for the moment about the comments And thank again for all the wonderful messages of encouragement Happy tennis to everyone."
