"The consequences are not milder because it's online": Holger Rune's sister threatens police action after death threats following brother's Shanghai loss
ATP
Denmark’s tennis star Holger Rune’s sister Alma has sent a
stern warning to social media users.
The 20-year-old suffered a stunning defeat against Japan’s Brandon
Nakashima in the second round of the Shanghai Masters in straight sets with a
score of 6-0, 6-2.
Alma was at the receiving end of abuse on social media
following her brother’s dismal performance and she was clearly unhappy about it
as she posted a long message, saying that there would be a police report if someone
threatened her or her family on social media.
“Just to be very clear, threats against me and my family has
and will be reported to the police,” she wrote in a story on her official
Instagram account. And for information, the consequences are not milder because
it’s online. And for all the other hateful messages.. please, it doesn’t hurt
to try and be nice.”
The defeat was another severe below for Rune who has had a
tough second half of the year with some very disappointing performances.
