Arthur Bouquier, French tennis player, has shown on his social media a comment he received before his debut in the Thionville Challenger. In the message, he was threatened that if he lost his match against the German Florian Broska, someone would go after him or a member of his family as the person had bet 2000 euros on his victory: "I bet 2000 euros on you (...) If you lose, I will chase you or your family just to hurt you, even if it means going to jail (...) I will skin you alive," the bettor assured him.
