SGJelena Ostapenko, along with her partner Hsieh Su-wei, reached the women's doubles quarter-finals at the U.S. Open after defeating the Australian-Taiwanese pair Maya Joint and Chan Hao-ching in two sets. During the match, tensions arose when Ostapenko confronted the opposing coach over his behavior, including clapping and shouting after their mistakes and making sarcastic comments in Chinese. Ostapenko expressed frustration, calling the actions 'disrespectful' and requesting a Chinese translator to address the issue. The umpire intervened, and the match resumed with Ostapenko and Hsieh securing the victory. Afterward, Ostapenko celebrated loudly, and neither side exchanged handshakes. This incident follows previous on-court disputes involving Ostapenko, including a controversial exchange at last year's U.S. Open where she criticized Taylor Townsend, though she later apologized.
