Townsend's altercation with Jelena Ostapenko circulated around the world. She has been building her own legacy more quietly.

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.
