Athletistic / Tennis. Latvian tennis player Elena Ostapenko allegedly insulted Kazakh Elena Rybakina during the semi-final of the WTA-1000 tournament in Rome (Italy). The incident happened in the second set.

The match ended in victory for Rybakina with the score 6:2, 6:4. In the second set, the game was interrupted due to rain.

Ostapenko was unhappy that her request to stop the game was denied, and then the game was called off when Rybakina brought it up. When the rivals left for the hall under the bleachers, Rybakina’s coach told her ward that the rival had insulted her.

Rybakina reached the final of the tournament in Rome, confidently defeating Ostapenko

“Hey, she (Ostapenko) told you sh..ha. She said it right in front of me now, when Elena didn’t see it,” the coach told tennis player Rybaka.

Later, after the match ended, Rybakina, shaking hands with the judge on the tower, pointed at her opponent, saying something. Probably, Kazakhstan urged to pay attention to the behavior of Ostapenko.
