Without giving the name Townsend, Latvia wrote on Ostapenko Instagram: “Hello All – I wanted to apologize for some things I said during my second round of single.

“English is not my mother -in -law, so when I said education, I was talking about I just believed as tennis manners. But I understand how the words used can disturb many people beyond the tennis court.

“I appreciate the support as a person and tennis player continues to grow and grow.

The incident occurred at the end of the match when two players came together to get together.
