Taylor Townsend said that she let her "racket talk" before Jelena Ostapenko's post-match comments. And she let it talk against Mirra Andreeva, upsetting the world No. 5 ​​7-5, 6-2 at the U.S. Open ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/658...

She played better tonight than any woman I’ve seen in the tournament so far. She’s got a real shot.

Before I saw that final word "crowd", my mind flashed through "solidarity!" "Isn't he dead?" "Maybe he was a voice in her head saying 'use the force'?"

I was amused when Andreeva didn’t apologize for a let cord. No one WS offended.

Explain Him Jim @explainhimjim.bsky.social

It’s Taylor Townsend making a statement on the court, beating top-ranked Mirra Andreeva at the U.S. Open with a strong 7-5, 6-2 win, while subtly responding to earlier remarks by another player, Jelena Ostapenko.
