Shelby Rogers speaks out on social media harassment, says she anticipates death threats after US Open loss

NEW YORK -- After her disappointing US Open defeat at the hands of Great Britain's Emma Raducanu in straight sets, Shelby Rogers said she's now going to have to deal with "nine million death threats" on her social media accounts from strangers who are unhappy with her loss.

Talking about the spotlight she has been under after her massive third-round win against world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty, Rogers said she wished "social media didn't exist."

"Obviously we appreciate the spotlight in those moments, but then you have today and I'm going to have nine million death threats and whatnot," she said at the postmatch news conference.
