Tennis players to get protection from online abuse through new monitoring service

A new monitoring service will help protect tennis players from online abuse and threats. In their joint announcement the International Tennis Federation, U.S. Tennis Association, the All England Club and the women's WTA tour say the “Threat Matrix” service will operate in 35 languages when it launches Jan. 1. They say the service "will support the identification of abusers, against whom all available measures will be taken.” The new service will monitor players’ public-facing social media for abusive and threatening content on X (formerly known as Twitter), Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok.
