“I want to say a ginormous f*** you to everyone in the tennis community who’s ever made me feel less than,” she wrote.

“F*** you to every single gambler who's sent me hate or death threats.

“F*** you to the people who sit behind screens on social media, commenting on my body, my career or whatever the f*** they want to nitpick."

And f*** you to a sport that hides behind so-called class and gentlemanly values," she wrote.

“Behind the white outfits and traditions is a culture that’s racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hostile to anyone who doesn’t fit the mould."
