Iga Swiatek has urged tennis governing bodies to enhance tools for players to combat online abuse, following Caroline Garcia's report of receiving hateful messages after her U.S. Open loss, which she attributed to 'unhealthy betting'.

Swiatek emphasized the necessity for education and more advanced AI solutions to ensure safer online spaces for players.

The collective call for action reflects an urgent need for improved measures to safeguard athletes from digital abuse.
