Japanese grand slam winner says the Latvian’s comments to Taylor Townsend were among ‘the worst things you can say to a black tennis player’.

Taylor Townsend says Jelena Ostapenko told her she has "no class" and "no education" after the American beat her in the US Open second round.

“She told me I have no class," Townsend said in an on-court interview after her 7-5, 6-1 victory.
