Watson was talking after her citizen Katie BBC Sport told the inappropriate and harmful comments scale she received online, including death threats.
Sir Andy Murray said that he is trying to remove his children from social media and support invitations for more measures to prevent the abuse of sports stars.
“He was the first threat to kill in 18 years,” Watson told the BBC Sport. “I told my friend [American tennis player] Slon Stevens at the time.
“The thing that shocked me more than others, but also somewhat made me feel better – because I told her that I was afraid because this person told me that he was watching me and would kill me – she said” a girl, don't worry, get this all the time. “
“I am now smiling after many years and a long profession. I receive ill -treatment daily, but all of this is in its right quorum.
“Everything is sad only have nothing better in their lives instead of sitting behind a computer or phone and writing it.
“I don't think anyone in his right mind will misuse someone online unprecedented. He just passes my head, it's just crazy.”
Watson is preparing for Wimbledon and will face Clara Tawson, classified as the Danish in the first round of an individual, after being delivered.
She won the mixed Wimbledon's title in 2016 with Henry Conneine in Finland, and the couple reached the last 12 months.
