Jelena Ostapenko yells at opposing coach during heated US Open match
Jelena Ostapenko went off during her third-round US Open doubles match, imploring the chair umpire to discipline the opponents' coach.
In a heated match at the US Open, Jelena Ostapenko engaged in a verbal altercation with the coach of her opponents, Maya Joint and Hao-Ching Chan. Ostapenko's partner, Su-wei Hsieh, translated Chan's coach's actions, which Ostapenko deemed as trash-talk and disrespectful. Ostapenko demanded a Chinese translator and accused the opposing coach of deliberately shouting mistakes in Chinese.
Despite the drama, Ostapenko and Hsieh went on to win the match 6-4, 6-4. However, unlike previous matches, Chan and Joint did not shake Hsieh's hand at the end of the game.
