Like many other players, Hon received regular hate on social media mostly from upset gamblers when they lose money.
It's nothing new as tennis is one of the most bet sports in the world. Players receive hate generally but it's even worse if they lose. Many have shared some of the messages they receive and
Priscilla Hon is the latest one:
We bring you some of the messages below:
'I sincerely hope you die of cancer you f****** piece of s***,' says one message.
'You f****** worthless piece of garbage. Please, oh please never play tennis anymore, you suck worthless s***,' says another.
She explained that messages like this happen daily:
"I'd be speaking for most of us by saying we're quote prone to it. When
I see them I don't feel much, but that doesn't make it okay. It's sad
that humanity goes down to this level just for losing a bet on a tennis
match."
