JELENA SORRY FOR 'EDUCATION' BLAST

The Journal

September 01, 2025

TENNIS Jelena Ostapenko has apologised for her incendiary comments towards Taylor Townsend at the US Open.

The Latvian reacted furiously after losing to Townsend in the second round at Flushing Meadows, jabbing her finger repeatedly in the American's face and accusing her of having “no education” and “no class”.

The source of Ostapenko’s ire was Townsend's failure to apologise for a net cord but her language led to claims of racism, with Naomi Osaka saying the education comment was “one of the worst things you can say to a black tennis player in a majority white sport".
