Britain's Jodie Burrage received death threats and abuse on social media after she was beaten in her first WTA Tour singles match proper for 16 months.

The 27-year-old, ranked 474th in the world, suffered a first-round exit at the Chennai Open after India's Vaishnavi Adkar fought back from a set down to triumph 3-6 6-3 7-5.
