However, in the semi-finals, Lys was defeated by her compatriot Tamara Korpatch, who won the trophy after defeating Gabriela Ruse. Shortly after the elimination, the 21-year-old athlete published shameful insults received from several users on social networks.

“The reality of a tennis player! Cruel treatment is never,” wrote Eva Lys. “Just like Emma Reducanu, a few good matches and a career as an influencer”, “I hope you finish your career soon” or “This should be your profession (no – create an account on an adult platform) “, are just some of the outrageous messages that the German woman received.

Many of them could not be reproduced. A few days later, Lys reacted to the online harassment again: “I saw it all. I was threatened with murder, told that I would be raped. This is brutal! It cannot go on like this,” said Eva Lys.
