Gabriella Taylor star ‘may have been deliberately poisoned’

A rising British tennis star who was forced to withdraw from Wimbledon after being struck down by a mystery illness may have been poisoned, it has been claimed.

Scotland Yard is investigating allegations that Gabriella Taylor, 18, from Southampton, was targeted during last month’s championships.

The tennis player spent four days in intensive care after becoming unwell and her mother, Milena Taylor, told the Daily Telegraph her daughter was “close to death”.
