‘This Is the Last Tournament You Organised’

Zagreb Indoors director Branko Horvat received death threats due to surprising results of the tennis players.

ZAGREB, CROATIA - The director of the Zagreb Indoors tennis tournament has received death threats. 

It has been confirmed that the threats were made due to surprising results of tennis players at the tournament and Horvat was told via an e-mail message that he would not live to see the next tournament.

- This is the last tournament you organised – said the e-mail whose contents Horvat revealed to reporters.

- This is incredible what is happening to me. It is all related to the surprising results at the Indoors. The director of the tournament simply cannot influence the results, it is in anybody’s interest that the main stars stay in the tournament for as long as possible. I am very scared over this. This is not normal – the evidently distressed Horvat said.

The threat arrived after a number of surprising victories by tennis players who are low on the ATP list.
