Eva Lys Says Stalkers Obtained Her Hotel Room Number After Years of Online Threats

She is staying on social media to spotlight the abuse rather than retreat.

Overview

  • In a new interview, the 23-year-old said stalkers got addresses for training sites and hotels and even her room number, which she called a clear crossing of boundaries.
  • She described receiving thousands of messages after defeats, including threats of sexual violence and murder directed at her and her family.
  • Lys says she has put security measures in place with the WTA and is weighing filing complaints with police.
  • She publicly posted a compilation of the most violent messages in October, rejecting past advice to ignore abuse to increase pressure for change.
  • She notes many senders appear to be losing bettors and often avoids Instagram immediately after matches, as the WTA’s 2024 analysis documented 8,000 violent comments and only 12 law‑enforcement investigations.
