Daria Kasatkina shared a snippet of the vile online abuse she received after beating Magda Linette at the WTA Elite Trophy. Despite winning the match, the Russian received a series of insulting messages as she claimed things were now \u201ccompletely out of control\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kasatkina became the first player to qualify for the semi-finals at this week\u2019s WTA Elite Trophy after winning both matches she contested in her round-robin group. The world No 17 defeated Linette 6-3 6-4 on Thursday, having already earned a 7-5 1-6 6-1 win against Barbora Krejcikova.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It means that she will advance out of the group into the semi-final with a 100 per cent winning record. Despite being victorious in both of her matches so far, Kasatkina was forced to take to X (formerly known as Twitter) to address the vile messages she had been sent following her win against Linette.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won btw. This s*** is completely out of control,\u201d the 26-year-old wrote alongside screenshots of three different messages. One of the remarks was a death threat full of X-rated insults, while another user told Kasatkina: \u201cI lost my bet because of ur stupidity.\u201d<\/p>\n
