Shame on Jelena Ostapenko. She is a disgrace to the sport and to every woman. You lost disgracefully and still have the brass neck to talk, shamful.
Ohhh dear she has to go back to Latvia at some point…😂😂😂it wasn't close..
Wenn dich Netzroller stören und Du dafür eine Entschuldigung erwartest, hör auf mit Tennis und geh Fußball spielen. Pfosten und Lattentreffer sind da ganz normal genauso wie Netzroller im Tennis. So ist halt der Sport! Du zielst nicht direkt auf die Netzkante oder den Pfosten. Jeder der dafür eine Entschuldigung etwartet kann einfach nicht verlieren.Die Ostapenko hat einfach sehr schlecht gespielt.
They look more like rugby players than tennis players. I think to get to the top of the rankings, they need to lose a collective 50-60 lbs.
Ostapenko's country shows she has no class or respect! We don't need those kinds of people in the U.S!
walk it, talk it, Ms. Townsend, you are a special superstar 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🗣️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅, fly never mind what she says you have class and style and you beautiful…. walk it, talk it… girl… la la laaa…⭐️⭐️📞⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅❤️
Firstly I am a Black African male. Secondly I think that human beings deserve justice. It is not fair… The way people are treating Ms Ostapenko is not fair. It is wrong!
It truly has become a mob justice scenario. And social media has become the mob justice central in 21st century. If you all take emotion out of it and study the facts objectively and fairly by hearing Ms Ostapenko's side of the story …then you will realize that she can sue you all for defamation and you will not win in a court of law.
Ms Ostapenko wasn't being racist. I believe her when she says that 'I have never been racist all my life'. She spoke of a net point where she felt that Ms Townsend should have shown tennis etiquette (sportsmanship). Take into account the fact that for Ms Ostapenko English is not her first language like most of you Americans. I am black African and English is not my first language, however my proficiency is in the top tier. Has Ms Ostapenko taken an English proficiency test , most likely not. Yet perhaps her English is average, which means that she has average selection of words even when attempting to describe naive behavior in a tennis match such as not showing expected tennis sportsmanship if a player wins an accidental point at the net.
Yet Ms Ostapenko didn't say to Ms Townsend 'You are naive' coz that will be too broad and perhaps racist. Instead she said ' You are not educated' This is actually quite as polite as a person can put it never mind English proficiency. And for people with average English that is the only phrase they can find readily because it is the most basic English. Was she discussing academic education…? or wasn't it education in tennis sportsmanship! It was not a personal attack on Ms Townsend. One can, without difficulty, see Ms Ostapenko believing that Ms Townsend went to and through America's revered education systems. So it is only a naive public who can think that in the 3rd decade of the 21st century Ms Ostapenko can suddenly attack Ms Townsend's cognitive abilities. Reasonable intelligible minds like mine can't see it. And I am a black man in my 30s.
Yet most of you think she was deriding Ms Townsend's IQ. Then you are all uneducated at legal analysis. Then you are all behaving unreasonably towards Ms Ostapenko. You are engaging in bullying and violence against an innocent woman who truly felt that Ms Townsend's conduct was unfair in a sport which is kow for its intimate nature. Tennis is a unique sport because two players exchange energies and intensity. It is like a tango. Yet when one is about to slip unfairly then the other has duty to steady the other's spirit from falling. This happens at the net if the net interfere and a point is won accidentally. The other has to acknowledge so that the other's spirit is not crushed. Apparently Ms Towsend didn't acknowledge the moment during the match and after the match. In fact Ms Townsend said' She didn't have to do anything' …..and so that is why Ms Ostapenko said you are uneducated…..at tennis etiquette. And Ms Ostapenko is correct. Absolutely correct. And I am of dark race like Ms Townsend.
Ms Townsend might be academically gifted and a brilliant tennis athlete …however she needs to be educated on that last part about the little things that you do for each other , in a classy sport. Just like Serena and Venus did when they played their rivals. This isn't about race. It is about taking care of each other on the court. Just like in entertainment wrestling. I have not a doubt in my mind that if Ms Towsend was a white woman in the exact scenario , Ms Ostapenko would still call the 'white' Ms Townsend 'uneducated and lacking class'. Race has nothing to do with it.
A racist wouldn't care about fairness. Ms Ostapenko was be-mourning that Ms Townsend wasn't being fair to her. The cares about fairness. A racist wouldn't seek justice. Ms Ostapenko confronted Ms Townsend because she was seeking justice, hoping that Ms Townsend would say 'I'm sorry'. Ms Ostapenko showed respect to Ms Townsend by bringing up the issue. If she truly believed that Ms Townsend was 'uneducated' in cognitive processing then Ms Ostapenko wouldn't have even bothered to bring up the issue directly with Ms Townsend. She instead would have discussed with her girlfriends in Latvia about how dumb……was on the court. Now that is how a racist would have behaved. I could go on… But I have made the points that can make you realize that you are all being too hasty to make judgement yet yee lack the rightful analytical pedigree.
I am a black African who lives in Australia, one of the most backward countries in the developed world,today. I am highly educated as you all can see. However I have been Ms Ostapenko more than once in my 20+yrs in Australia. I have face similar situations. It has only made me stronger and better for the future. I watched the clip and I saw the look and emotion going through Ms Ostapenko and my heart ached because I could see myself in her. I saw the look on her face and I know what she was going through. It's called 'when the world can never understand'. Now she handled herself with class and integrity given what another male player did a few days earlier in a similarly hostile environment towards people of Slavic races. Even here in Australia Novac Djokovic was attacked by a television network in January this year. We all know what is going on in the world. This may be the most shameful year of tennis because of how certain European ethnics are being treated in Western Grand slams.
And the spirit of justice in me has to take Ms Ostapenko's side and so I found myself putting together argument on her behalf using my knowledge in Human Rights statutes. Then I found that most of the US owes Ms Ostapenko an apology. Starting with Ms Townsend.
And Ms Townsend if you are truly educated and or classy you take the time to watch the tape of the match up…then call Ms Ostapenko privately and apologize. I am sure the two of you would make each other strong from that point onward. Don't listen to mob justice. The two of you share the same profession …effectively you are sisters in tennis.
I personally am sorry Ms Ostapenko, I hope you feel better, don't ever let mob justice bring your self determination down. I am a black man who is sure that , you were not being racist to Ms Townsend. The Human Rights laws would not find you to have done an wrong. That is what matters the most. You are in the all clear! Go Sister!!!
After that 1st comeback, chick-chick was DONE !!
The lady in green at 6:11 😂😂😂
6:10 Black lady in green mocking Ostapenko's animal scream. 😆😆😆
Ms Townsend regarding what was said, never reduce yourself to level of Naysayers you are better than that..
✌🏾
What a come back in that first set. 😮
Jelena fatigue…
The better player won. Oh, and the better person also won!
Ostapenko is so unattractive and oddly shaped. No wonder she’s envious of Taylor.
Ostapenko could not keep up with the crowd and those returns from Townsend were just brutal to watch
Looser ostepenko why can’t your education to win ???? Hhhhhhh jealous!!!!
When’s her next match I jus became a fan ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Taylor ❤
You are LOVED in DRC🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
osta you losta.
Trailer park trash gets sent packing.. 🗑️. Lovely result
Ostapenko is so full of hate. Hope she works on getying some humilty…..she has NONE.
It's funny seeing the linebacker get mad after Taylor celebrated by yelling. But the linebacker yelled the exact same way after she'd won earlier. Talk about moving the goal post victory celebration
I’m confused as to how these fairly large women can actually play at this professional level
I’m not sure why Ostapenko is comparing education levels. She went pro at about 15 yrs old so what makes her such a scholar?
45😢
White girl got owned. 😂😂😂😂 I can see why you’re upset!
😂😂😂😂 la humilló en ambos sets, por eso se ardió la clara de huevo 😂😂😂😂😂
Screams like a pig. "yOu'Re BeInG cLaSsLeSs."
It seems alot of people willfully ignore or dont understand narcissism.
The barren female (lifeless, empty, devoid of positive human characteristics beyond herself) gave us insight into their fragility. Serena faced the same attitude.
Speaking of education, a great man named Einstein taught humanity that "race ism is a disease of the w.people" 🧟♂️
Ostapenko is so weak 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Handbags at Dawn at the end there, id like to have seen a real wrestling match ! 😀
The US open needs to step up and take charge, either suspend people who show bad behavior, or, if the open wants to keep them around just to make money off of them, then fine them till it hurts, nothing gets an out-of-control person back in line like hitting that pocketbook, either way the ones holding the purse strings can shut all this racism down immediately, that is, if they really want to.
Ukraine
Please repent yall for Jesus Christ is Lord! Please believe in The Gospel of our salvation in Jesus Christ our Lord
Class is knowing how to hold your head up high and moving forward beyond defeat rather than passing blame or starting petty and pointless arguments in a vain attempt to cover your own inadequacies.
This was clear cut she was mad because she got beat up on in that second set.
Taylor Townsend💐🌹🌼
Ostapenko makes annoying noise. She sounds a woman giving birth in hospital.
6:08 hahaha, that black lady in the audience making fun of Ostapenko's "Ahhhhhhh!!!!' scream lol
They should have resolve it on the tarmac , like 2 Gladiators. To see who beats who .
INBREDS STAYYYYY MADDDD 😂😂😂😂😂
best regards from Turkey to TAYLOR
Ostepanko lost straight up… why she mad?
Another devil down! Send that devil back to that cold Eastern European 🔥
Black athletes are practically taking over every sport
