French Open – Oscar Otte complains of hate messages and death threats: “There are no exceptions”

The number of messages depends primarily on the opponent. “If I lose against a lower-ranked player, up to 50 messages come,” reported Otte, who played his opening match at this year’s French Open against Spaniard Roberto Carballes Baena on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Otte fondly remembers Paris. In 2019, the Rhinelander had lost in three sets against star player Roger Federer from Switzerland in the second round, but “that was one of the coolest days of my career so far,” said Otte.
