It was a tough Friday evening for Caroline Wozniacki in Miami. The world no. 2 lost to Monica Puig 0-6, 6-4, 6-4. Most of the fans were from Puerto Rico, Puig's native country and Wozniacki alleged that they heavily insulted her.

'One thing is to have the crowd against you, but another is that they behave in an unusual way and that they want people to die. It's not nice when people shout every kind of bas things towards you,' Caroline said in a post-match interview to TV2.

On Twitter, Wozniacki explained what happened in a detailed way:

The Miami Open tournament directorcommented on the situation through a statement, saying that they did their best to ensure a fair and safe environment.

Both WTA and Miami Open's staff security was courtside, and nobody witnessed a verbal abuse. Otherwise, they would have immediately acted. ALSO READ: ATP Madrid confident about Roger Federer's appearance in May
