Roger Federer is in China for next week’s Shanghai Masters. According to
reports from China, Federer received the following death threat from an
anonymous blogger on a popular Chinese website, prompting tournament
officials to contact police and increase security for the Swiss No. 1 and
the other players at the event:
“On October 6, I plan to assassinate Federer for the purpose of tennis
extermination,” read the message, posted under the name ‘Blue Cat
Polytheistic Religion Founder 07′ on baidu.com.
The user also posted a doctored image showing a decapitated Federer on
his knees on a tennis court, with a masked executioner dressed in black and
holding an axe posing next to him.
According to the report, tournament director Yang Yibin addressed the threat
to the Shanghai Youth Daily.
“We hope that it was an oral threat only, and the fan won’t take
substantive action,” Yang is quoted as saying. “However, we have to take
it seriously. We have contacted the local police and we will upgrade the
level of security for Roger. Meanwhile, we will also protect other players’
security.”
It’s frightening situation for Federer, especially given that his wife and
kids have accompanied him to Shanghai for the tournament. Security issues
have been an unfortunate black mark on tennis since 1993, when Monica Seles,
then ranked No. 1, was stabbed in the back by a deranged Steffi Graf fan
mid-match while sitting in her chair on a changeover. | Q*****n
