Roger Federer targeted in online death threat

Bad start of his visit to Shanghai:

ah, it's old news to the forum
nevermind..

Yes there are some weirdos out there but I cannot take this story very seriously. Blowing up this story could have a beneficial effect on the popularity of the event which is usually not very attended. I remember the tournament organisers sending military schools there to fill the seats.

I really woudl like China to take on tennis. They are pretty good at table tennis and tennis nowadays is not that different.

Just your luck GP!
You've got to be quick around here
Anyway, how have you been these days, hope this news hasn't given you heart trouble...
In a way if there was a country that can crack don on idiots of this kind it's China, so look forward to hearing how they deal with the magic mushroom anti-tennis fan.

No worries, like T i think this is just another moron who wants to feel important for once in his/her life.

I reckon Federer will be escorted by a complete army until the moment he leaves. They must be glad he finally shows up again, they at least want to make him feel safe.
Has the draw been announced?
