Ostapenko and Tomljanovic continue to clash during press conferences

Jelena Ostapenko and Ajla Tomljanovic did not have a cordial parting at the net as they exchanged heated words after the match concluded.

The drama-filled match ended with drama and the drama continued after the match as Tomljanovic and Ostapenko fired shots at each other at the press conferences. The reason behind the clash, a medical timeout called at 4-0 for Tomljanovic to which the Australian took exception.

Their clash continued off the courts as well as both of them commented on it during their press conferences. Ostapenko said:

"I think it was very disrespectful what she did. I mean, how can you say liar or something if you know zero about it, maybe I already had this injury before. Maybe it's not new pain or something. How can you say this? You cannot say that. In front of everybody, call me a liar? I don't think it's respectful from her side."

Ostapenko that thew in another tidbit saying:

"I think my level today was, like, not good after the first set, because if I played at least 50 per cent I would have beaten her."

Tomljanovic at her press conferecne said:

"She can say she was injured. I don't think she was. There was nothing wrong with her the whole match, but then why on 4-0 she calls it? So I think that that's a clear reason that she just wanted to get me off my game."

She also said:

"Then to top it all off, for her to call me disrespectful at the end of the match is just, at that point, it's laughable. I think it's disgraceful behaviour from someone that is a slam champion, because kids look at her and, what, they see that?"
