Miami, Mar 25 (IBNS): In a striking claim, world number two Caroline Wozniacki has said her parents received death threats following her defeat in the Miami Open.

Caroline was defeated in the Miami Open second round match by  Puerto Rico's Monica Puig.

Puig defeated her opponent 0-6 6-4 6-4.

In an emotional post, Caroline tweeted: "When certain lines are crossed it makes tennis miserable for both competitors."

"During the match people in the crowd threatened my family, wished death upon my mom and dad, called me names that I can't repeat here and told my fiance's niece and nephew (who are 10 years old) to sit down," she said.

She urged Miami Open officials to prevent such instances in future.
