This exchange was HEATED. 👀 ⁣ ⁣ Taylor Townsend and Jelena Ostapenko’s second-round match at the U.S. Open didn’t end at the net... it spilled into a heated courtside exchange. 🤯⁣ ⁣ Townsend says Ostapenko told her she had “no class, no education” and even warned her to “see what happens outside the U.S.” 🫢⁣ ⁣ Townsend fired back both on the court (winning 7-5, 6-1) and after, calling it simply “competition” and adding, “When she was playing well, I didn’t say anything. That just shows class.” 😌⁣ ⁣ For Townsend, it’s a milestone: her first Grand Slam singles third round since 2023, and she did it as the world’s No. 139... the lowest-ranked American to beat a Slam champ at the Open since 2019. 🎾⁣ ⁣ The bad blood? Still brewing. Townsend ended her on-court interview with: “Let’s see what else she has to say.” 😮 #thegist⁣ ⁣ #tennis #womenssports #womenstennis #usopen #taylortownsend #jelenaostapenko #drama #newyork
