She quickly responded on her Instagram Stories, explaining the reasons behind her behavior.Ostapenko wrote that she was unhappy with Townsend’s on-court conduct, noting that the American failed to apologize after a net cord. She also pointed out that the American chose to warm up at the net instead of the baseline, which didn’t sit well with her."Just a small update about the match. Today after the match I told my opponent that she was very disrespectful as she had a net ball in a very deciding moment and didn't say sorry, but her answer was that she doesn't have to say sorry at all. There are some rules in tennis that most players follow and it was the first time ever that this happened to me on tour. If she plays in her homeland that doesn't mean that she can behave and do whatever she wants," Ostapenko wrote. "In the beginning of the match all players are supposed to start warm up on the baseline. The opponent came out and straight away started the warm up at the net which is very disrespectful and against the rules of a tennis match," the Latvian added.Leaving the controversy behind, Taylor Townsend has advanced to the fourth round in New York after a stunning victory over fifth seed Mirra Andreeva. She will now face former Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejcikova on Sunday, August 31.
