After Townsund closed the victory, I got close to the Latvian to get a handshake on the network, but the quarrel followed, while telling Ostaleko Townsund that she should apologize for a shot that struck the top of the network and not warm up in the traditional way by practicing Volleys first.

The wives world moved to women No. 1 before celebrating her disorder from the twenty -fifth seed by hitting the crowd in madness.

“It is a competition, people are bothered when they lose and some people say bad things,” Townsin said in the post -match interview.

“She told me that I have no chapter, and I have no education and I see what happens when we get out of the United States. I am looking for it. I hit her in Canada outside the United States, so let’s see what you say.”

“I did not back down because you will not insult me, especially after I carried myself a certain type of anything but respect,” said Townsund expanded what happened later at its press conference.

“If you show your respect, I expect respect as well. This is just a fact.

Ostapenko moved to Instagram to explain its side, accusing Townsund of non -athletic behavior.

“I told my opponent that she was very unauthorized because she had a net ball in a very crucial moment and did not say sorry, but her answer is that she should not say sorry at all,” said Ostapenko.

“I make sure that I am doing everything I can be the best possible acting every time I take to the court and even outside the court.

“So I can’t talk about what I felt about it. This is something that you will have to ask her. I didn’t take it this way, but also, this was a stigma in our society that is not educated and all things when this is the farthest thing of the truth.”

In a later post on Instagram, Ostapenko said: “I was never racist in my life and I respect all the countries of the people in the world.”
