"This is what you get when you lose a match," the Russian wrote on a screenshot, which showed hateful messages that she shared on her social media.

Later, she chose to remove the image, writes SVT. "Most brain-dead player of all time," wrote a user, according to the TV channel.

Andrejeva recently defeated world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the major tournament Indian Wells. She had won 13 consecutive matches on the tennis tour before she was eliminated in the 16th final in Miami against Amanda Anisimova, USA.
