Wait wait wait. I'm just now seeing the clip. I'd heard it was over a net cord. But you never apologize if the point plays on from the net cord. You only apologize if the net cord leads to the point ending and you winning it off of that.

Mmmmm… a comment about being uneducated seems like a deeper issue than what’s being claimed but also… this is a super fascinating topic under the “good sportsmanship” umbrella.

It’s racism! Please call it what it is! Etiquette is not rules. Townsend owed her NOTHING. You looking it up and pointing it out further perpetuates the racism. “If” is not needed because Townsend was NOT disrespectful. Jelena was, FULL STOP!

That’s only if the player doesn’t get net drop shot. She got it into play and Townsend won off a different point

It’s BA. She just thought in this climate in America she would be praised for her behavior. But, uh noooooo.

I've been a fan of tennis since the mid '80s the fact that she reached the ball after it rolled over the net kept it in play she didn't win the point on that so it doesn't deserve a little wave. if she wasn't able to return after the roll yes but not the way it played out. IMO

Pointing at someone with a single finger is considered rude due to its association with blame, accusation, & disrespect.

Include the fact that she threatened her if and when she plays out of the U.S. Seriously!

And I question you bringing this up! It is a blatant racism and if you were a person with color you be so quick to say it!

She didn’t win the point on the net cord hit, she got to the ball and then Townsend hit it over her head. She’s just making an excuse for her behavior after the match to justify her comments. She should be a better loser, because that wasn’t it. Townsend is a class act and handled it better than I would have

Tennis tea! Very unprofessional of her! Townsend handled it like a pro. Good for her for sticking up for herself against the sore loser

Considering she was able to get there and return it that’s such BS. Isn’t the point only if they don’t get to the ball in time to return it.
