Kevin Anderson - Daniel Smith

South Africa’s Kevin Anderson has received death threats following his first round exit from Wimbledon on Monday after losing in four sets to Denis Istomin from Uzbekistan.


It was the second successive first round exit for Anderson at a Grand Slam after falling short at the French Open at Roland Garros.

Anderson took to the social media platform saying he was disappointed in the exit and also confirmed that he has received tons of death threats.

Injuries have plagued Anderson over the past few months and the big-serving South African has been able to win just five matches all year.

Anderson reached a career-high of 10th in the world last year, however, is currently just outside the top 20 in the world at the moment.
