'Pressure a privilege' for Ikpeazu after injury hell
The pressure of St Johnstone's Premiership survival fight is a "privilege" for striker Uche Ikpeazu after his injury torment.The striker joined Saints last summer but suffered a knee injury that led to five operations before he finally made his debut for the club last month.Ikpeazu, 30, now hopes to help Saints to a great escape, starting with victory over Ross County in Saturday's relegation showdown."Everything is against us, but unless it's mathematically impossible, I always still believe. That's just my mentality. I wake up every day and I'm just like, I always want to try," he said."I want there to be an amazing story. That's just my mentality. I think pressure is a privilege."It's a privilege because I look and I just think I was in a situation where no matter what I did, I could have never come back because of an infection in my knee that I knew nothing about."But now I'm in the position to help my team solidify themselves."I know St Johnstone have legends who have won the cup within the last 10 years. If you were to escape from this, though, these players would become legends because I don't think too many people actually give us a chance of doing so. It is possible, though."

Katie Boulter opens up over ‘awful' online abuse sent to tennis players
The British tennis No 2 Katie Boulter has lifted the lid on the level of abuse aimed at some players and revealed she and her family have received death threats. Boulter shared her experiences with BBC Sport to highlight the issue of players receiving toxic messages online. The 28-year-old's examples included a message telling her to buy 'candles and a coffin for your entire family' with a reference to her 'grandmother's grave if she's not dead by tomorrow', one stating she should 'go to hell' as she had cost the poster money, and another stating 'hope you get cancer'. Boulter, who told the Guardian in 2024 about the harassment that can accompany a higher profile in the game, said: 'I just wonder who the person is that has sent that. I don't think it's something that I would ever say to my worst enemy. It's just an awful, awful thing to say to anyone. It's horrible.' Boulter believes much of the abuse comes from gamblers who have lost money and while she has learned how to better handle it over the years, incidents can raise genuine concerns for her safety. She said: 'I think it just kind of shows how vulnerable we are. You really don't know if this person is on site. You really don't know if they're nearby or if they know where you live or anything like that.' The message Boulter received relating to her family came during her French Open first-round victory over Carole Monnet on 29 May. And she is concerned that both the frequency and severity of the abuse is increasing and worries about the potential impact on younger players. She said: 'I think it increases in number and it also increases in the level of things that people say. I don't think there's anything off the cards now.'

Katie Boulter reveals reply to online troll after receiving death threats
Katie Boulter has revealed she has received multiple death threats and abuse after her performances on court and has even interacted with online trolls to help them better understand the damage they can cause. The British No 2 has recalled how after she dropped a tie-break at the French Open last month against Carole Monnet, several gamblers messaged her online. Boulter would go on to win her second round match at Roland Garros in three sets, yet she has been left in fear by the experience. One user said, 'hope you get cancer,' while another vowed to damage her 'grandmother's grave if she's not dead by tomorrow.' Others referenced how they had 'lost money my mother sent me', in an ever-increasing problem for tennis. Her story resonates with that of Gael Monfils, who took to social media last week after suffering from a similar experience following a defeat to Alex Michelsen in Stuttgart. But the French player instead took to social media to hit back at abusive bettors: 'You're writing that I'm s***, I know I'm s***, we both know I'm s***, and you still bet on me? Who's the dumbest between you and me? Let's be honest.' Boulter, 28, has now shared her inbox to reveal how it has become 'the norm' for tennis players, while also holding concern over the impact felt by younger players. "At the very start of my career, it's probably something I took very personally... getting comments about the way you look," Boulter told BBC Sport. 'It becomes more apparent every single time you go on your phone. "I think it increases in number and it also increases in the level of things that people say. I don't think there's anything off the cards now." While Boulter even interacted with one online troll, revealing: "I've just tried to send them a nice message [so] maybe they can take a second and look at themselves and go: 'Oh, well maybe I shouldn't have sent that.' "Sometimes the replies I actually get from that is them saying: 'Oh no, I'm a huge fan. I'm so sorry. I didn't want to send you that stuff, but it was emotional, I didn't mean to. You know, I still support you. I think you're amazing.' They don't realise sometimes what they've actually said to these people." Boulter admits the messages make her feel 'vulnerable', with Signify, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and Women's Tennis Association (WTA) revealing in a study that last year there were about 8,000 abusive, violent or threatening messages sent publicly to 458 tennis players on social media. Boulter's experience will also resonate with Caroline Garcia, the former world No 30, who spoke out last year about her ordeal, while also pleading for online trolls to remember tennis players 'are human'. The Frenchwoman was supported by Iga Swiatek and Jessica Pegula. She also highlighted how the relationship between tennis tournaments and bookmakers further exacerbates the problem. Racist abuse online has also become common for tennis players, with Sloane Stephens and Jay Clarke previously revealing messages sent to them online. Signify is working with the tennis authorities to detect abuse through an artificial intelligence-led detection system called Threat Matrix. The system is being used in collaboration with the ITF, WTA, All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) and United States Tennis Association (USTA), with players able to share abusive messages and receive security advice.
