Minutes after being eliminated from the 2025 US Open, Jelena Ostapenko wanted to share her point of view on the controversy with Taylor Townsend: "Today after the match, I told my opponent that she had been very disrespectful because she had a ball at the net at a very decisive moment and did not apologize, but her response was that she had no reason to apologize at all. There are some rules in tennis that most players follow, and it was the first time this happened to me on the tour. Playing in her country does not mean she can do whatever she wants."

At the start of the match, all players should begin warming up at the baseline. My opponent went out and immediately started warming up at the net, which is very disrespectful and goes against the rules of a tennis match."

Jelena Ostapenko says Taylor Townsend was disrespectful by starting the warm-up of their match at the net instead of the baseline, ‘This is very disrespectful and against the rules of a tennis match’
