Falling out on Court 15
The third-round match between Ajla Tomljanovic and Jelena Ostapenko ended in an unsavoury fashion as the two players were arguing on court. Tomljanovic called her opponent a “liar” after she called for the physio before a service game deep into the second set. The pair traded insults during the match and continued their disagreement at the net once the Australian had won before continuing to air their dirty laundry in their respective post-match press conferences.
