Wimbledon 2021: Ajla Tomljanovic Accuses Jelena Ostapenko In Stormy Win

Wimbledon 2021: Ajla Tomljanovic accused Jelena Ostapenko of "lying", and the pair also had an angry exchange at the net at the end of the third-round clash.

Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic accused Wimbledon opponent Jelena Ostapenko of "lying" on Saturday on her way to making the fourth round for the first time. Tomljanovic was furious that 2017 French Open champion Ostapenko called the trainer at 0-4 in the final set, claiming she was suffering from an abdominal injury. "You know she's lying, right? We all know," the 28-year-old Australian told the chair umpire. The medical timeout resulted in a 10-minute delay before the match resumed and Tomljanovic clinched a 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 win. "Are you taking into any consideration that she looked fine?" The pair then had an angry exchange at the net at the end of the third round clash. "She can say she was injured. I don't think she was," said Tomljanovic.
