For the first time in the history of Roland-Garros, the FFT will set up an application to identify and delete the hateful messages that athletes receive on their social networks. Insults, intimidation, and even sometimes death threats, tennis players receive more and more disturbing messages on social networks after matches.
The French Tennis Federation will call on a company called Bodyguard. Specialized in cyberbullying, the latter will make it possible to detect and delete hate messages. Players of the main draw, but also juniors or wheelchair participants, all registrants can, if they wish, benefit from this service.
