The Miami Open has responded to a tweet from WTA star Caroline Wozniacki claiming her family was threatened following her Round of 64 loss to Monica Puig on Friday night.
Miami Open director James Blake stressed that player security is the tournament's "No.1 priority" and that staff would have acted had it been made aware of the crowd trouble.
Here is the original statement from Wozniacki in which she details her family being threatened and verbally abused after her match:
