Svitolina points to angry gamblers as source of online abuse after Canadian Open defeat
Former world No. 3 Elina Svitolina said she was flooded with online abuse, including death threats, after her Canadian Open defeat on Tuesday and blamed the 'shameful' behaviour on disgruntled bettors. The 10th seed from Ukraine crashed to a 6-2 6-2 quarter-final loss against four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka at the Montreal WTA tournament and later highlighted the abuse directed at her and her family. Tennis players, like many athletes, often have to deal with the wrath of gamblers online despite the efforts of authorities to tackle the issue with measures that include the blocking of social media accounts. 'To all the bettors: I'm a mom before I'm an athlete,' Svitolina, 30, wrote in an Instagram story in which she attached screenshots of the messages that included death threats. 'The way you talk to women - to mothers - is SHAMEFUL. If your moms saw your messages, they'd be disgusted.' Some of the abusive messages Svitolina shared referenced the ongoing war in her country following Russia's invasion. A study undertaken by some of the various governing bodies of tennis said that angry gamblers were responsible for nearly half of all the abuse that was directed at players on social media last year. Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia said after her loss at last year's US Open that 'unhealthy betting' was one of the top reasons players were targeted and took aim at social media platforms for not doing enough to filter the abuse. She had said that it hurt players, especially after tough losses when they were 'emotionally destroyed' and she worried about how younger players would be affected. Reuters has contacted the WTA for comment and details of their latest efforts to combat the issue. Svitolina's husband and fellow professional Gael Monfils had humorously hit back at gamblers after an early loss in Stuttgart this year, with the 38-year-old saying he was surprised people still put money on him to win against much younger opponents.

Ciante Evans puts drones on hold to soar again with Alouettes
At age 32, Ciante Evans had moved on from football. Article content The native of Fort Worth, Tex., was in Chicago working for a security consulting company. He also owns a drone service company and is a certified drone pilot who performs commercial work for construction sites. Article content Article content While the veteran defensive back continued working out — just in case — he appeared ready to close the book on his CFL career after 110 games, dating to 2015, when he launched his career with Calgary. Article content Article content But the Alouettes have injuries — safety Marc-Antoine Dequoy hurt his shoulder last Saturday against Saskatchewan, while cornerback Kabion Ento (calf) was a late scratch — and you can never have enough depth in the CFL. So when general manager Danny Maciocia called Evans, he gladly accepted an invitation to return to Montreal for a third time. Article content Article content 'I bring experience. I bring leadership and a calm presence,' Evans said this week after a practice at Stade Hébert. Article content The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder played for the Als in 2019, then returned in 2023 as a free agent after two seasons with Hamilton. Evans played an instrumental role in the Als' Grey Cup championship season, intercepting three passes despite playing only 10 games. While there's no guarantee Evans will be in uniform on Friday night, when the Als host the Edmonton Elks and their former starting quarterback, Cody Fajardo, Montreal needs a cornerback because Dionté Ruffin (adductor) is the latest casualty and hasn't practised this week. Article content Article content Along with the addition of Evans this week, the Als also signed cornerback Brandin Dandridge, who spent five seasons with Ottawa and was an East Division all-star as recently as 2023. Dandridge also can return kicks if necessary. That's significant, because Montreal is also missing returner James Letcher Jr. (hand injury). Article content The Als will declare their roster Thursday morning. Article content 'He was part of our (2023) defence that was very good and made plays,' head coach Jason Maas said of Evans. 'He's also a great communicator and a great locker-room guy. He's a smart player who gets our defence. And he knows the league. That's a huge plus.' Article content For reasons that were never made clear, Evans left the Als after their championship run and signed with B.C. as a free agent — presumably for more money because his agent advised him it was an opportunity he couldn't spurn.
