  • Carolina Wozniacki is the world No2.

    Caroline Wozniacki is considering boycotting next year’s Miami Open after the vile abuse she received from fans at last month’s tournament.

    The world No2 is furious at the response from tournament officials to her complaints about death threats towards both her and her family during the 6-0, 4-6, 4-6 defeat to Monica Puig in the second round.

    The Miami crowd was largely against Wozniacki and the Dane believes it was one of the worst experiences of her career.

    She felt let down by the unsympathetic statement from tournament director James Blake, a former top-10 player.

    “I slept horribly for probably four or five days after that, I wasn’t at ease,” said the 27-year-old.

    “I really felt awful. There was a bad feeling in my stomach. David (Lee, her fiance) was there too and he even was like: ‘This is bad, this is not the way’.

    “The experience that I had in Miami was awful and hopefully something we’ll never experience again.”
