Keyboard warriors slammed: the social round-up

We love social media (how would we do the social round-up without it?!) but sometimes it has an ugly side…

Sam Groth discovered this after a first round Wimbledon qualifying loss:

Gamblers and keyboard warriors who abuse players after they have just lost, are the absolute scum of the Earth!!

But she’s still fighting battles, the latest a slinging match with former world No.1 John McEnroe.

Her response got plenty of support, with Nicole Gibbs leading the cheers:
