Iga Swiatek gets heightened security at Miami Open after 'aggressive' fan verbally attacked her: report

Five-time grand slam winner Iga Swiatek was reportedly given boosted security during the Miami Open this week after an "aggressive" fan verbally attacked her at the tournament.

The fan has previously sent abusive messages to the three-time reigning French Open winner online, BBC Sport reported, citing Swiatek's representatives.

The reported incident occurred Saturday during a practice session, and it "[appeared] to be a direct transition from verbal aggression online to harassment in the real world," Swiatek's reps said.
