- The Wimbledon 2021 championships opened with a bit of controversy, but there’s now been an intense exchange between players, as Jelena Ostapenko and Ajla Tomljanovic engaged in a war of words after their 3rd round match at the Championships. Tomljanovic overcame the Eastbourne champ 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 to reach her first major fourth round since 2014. While Alja mounted her comeback being up 4-0, Ostapenko took a medical time out which she went off the court for. Tomljanovic was not thrilled about this, accusing Ostapenko of faking the injury in an attempt to change the momentum.

i forgot to mention that Ajla’s more confrontational reaction is likely due to past MTO drama: while Alja was up 5-2 in the 2019 Hua Hin final 3rd set, Dayana Yastremska called for a *questionable* MTO which changed the whole course of the match.
Ajla has to be more resilient knowing that players will exploit loopholes in the rules.
But who doesn’t like a good catfight?
That’s what I call entertainment.
Yastremska incident set a nasty precedent which affected alja🎾
It could have changed the course of the game🎾
@Einars Dubrovskis I’m not saying she wasn’t, in this instance. I’ve been an Ostapenko fan since she thrashed Halep at RG.
Jelena pulled out of doubles with her partner that excellent young Ukrainian. She is injured.
I support Ajla. I was watching the match and Ostapenko was definitely trying to stop her opponents momentum.
Ajla lost so bad to barty. That's her real level.
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 bro go home you troll
@Einars Dubrovskis ok tennis casual. I’m already home.
@Einars Dubrovskis and barty isn’t my top favorite wta player.
@@jamesglimco4371 I'm still here and ill always be here. Not a troll, I'm just telling the truth. If that upsets you, get off the internet.
About time players started calling out this blatant cheating out. Good on her. This happens all too often.
How do you know she's faking? Just because she looks good for an hour and a half that's how injuries happen that's the point you're good and then it happens lol
@@christianWilliams-pc4jn jelena is super salty
Exactly, I’m a jogger and you start the run on top of the world ! Then 40 min in still going great, left hamstring pulls suddenly. Out 3 weeks. Like the guy in the video said, Ostapenko played a lot of matches lately. Don’t be so quick to judge, folks. Your perception of reality isn’t necessarily reality.
Either you keep playing or you retire .
Life sucks
Get on with life
Timeouts should be BANNED
@@christianWilliams-pc4jn If you know a little tennis, you can tell if somebody is hurt, or have discomfort moving, even the slightest one. Jelena in the way she asked for the physio (and getting to her chair like if she don't need to provide no explanation whatsoever) was clearly indicating that nothing was wrong and she was trying something when she was in great danger (0-4 remember). Not good. And what she says in he press conference is even worse. "If I play 50%, I can beat her". Really? Horrible sportsmanship and a little cheater.
The medical time outs in tennis have become a JOKE. Everytime someone is down games they call the MTO.
Exactly
I remember a match between Djokovic and the opponent. Djokovic won the first set 6-4 then he MTO. when he came back he won the opponent 6-2, 6-1. After the the match, they ask him why you take time out. He didn't answer he pass the question. From the match I don't wacth Djokovic anymore
@@Vanguyen09 Novak has a long history of tactical time outs. His main lesson from coach Boris
@@Vanguyen09 do. u realize the fact that he won d set xDD. Why would u take a tactical timeout while winning
@@Vanguyen09
You are a idiot . Jokovic won the first set . So what’s wrong with the time out ???
It gave his opponent a time for rest and recovery 😂😂
I agree that MTO is prone to abuse. At least the umpire should decline when the request is made on the opponent's serve.
Any player is entitled to respectfully question an umpires decision. Two points in this case. Firstly, the time out was not given at the change of ends. This means the timeout must have been judged to have been an acute injury or one that developed immediately. JO claimed the injury developed in the second set therefore it was not immediate and it should have waited until the change of ends. Secondly, JO in her press conference suggested she has had this problem before being a recurring injury which therefore should be ruled Non Treatable condition. No other sport has this rule and it has to go.
Thanks. For me, the key point here is: 'what are the rules ?'. In the articles about this match in the UK newspapers, nobody has stated exactly what the rules are. Also, the BBC did not mention them in their match commentary.
This wasn’t respectful though. She called her a liar with her sitting 10 feet away. Was Ostapenko probably using a tactic here? Sure. But behaving like a brat because someone is using rules to their advantage doesn’t mean all class goes out the window. Question the timing of the MTO for sure, but don’t call her a liar in front of a crowd of people.
Also, no other sport has a player by themselves on a court playing non stop for hours. Boxing is maybe the closest exception and yes the ref will call a medical timeout because safety is more important someone’s momentum.
@@harveydodd8803 That's why they can rest at the change of ends. Historically there were no time outs for injury until the late 80's. Full marathons are over 2 hours non stop and there is no rest or time outs. McEnroe, Pat Cash to name a few believe this rule should go. There are arguments on court because of this stupid rule.
@@JHatLpool The rules are quite vague and broad however I think if you google the rules under ITF you can download them.
the question i didn't see anyone ask so far is was she / Ostapenko exhibiting any tenderness/grimaces favoring the area before. you don't get a acute abdominal issue like that without symptoms/signs before. If there were no signs, then you can't allow it just based on her..."ITS A ACUTE INJURY, I SIT DOWN:!!
Ostapenko is like an antagonist from a kids cartoon. Comical.
AT was arguing with the umpire that the injury was not an "acute" one and that JO shouldn't have got the MTO before she (AT) served and when they were not even changing side and resting. Then, yes, .. she was also speaking out that she thought it was a completely fake injury.
But despite this last part, she was absolutely right on the first one.
And this is why she wanted to speak to the supervisor also.
Honestly: I think medical time outs should be eliminated entirely. Finish the match with what you got or retire. Period. MO are abused so often, it happens all the time.
Yes i agree, unless its an on court injury which requires immediate attention such as bandaging a wound or tending to a ball hit at a tender part of the body, for example. Otherwise, out if you cant play anymore. Its a battle, at the end of the day.
Exactly ! I watched a match with Daniel Medev when he had leg cramps so bad , he could not move, he played through and won. I am wondering why some players are such wimps. They can't fight through a little stomach muscle pain/strain. I bet if they were wining the match they would put it behind them and play.
@@nt4081 That’s really callous of you. Yes some players are capable of playing through their injuries, but at what cost? Is it worth continuing to play and risk injuring yourself for a longer period of time? Also, continuing to play on an injury forces the body to compensate thus leading to injuries in other parts of the body.
@@kareemalleyne876 hence like Kyrgios yesterday they should retire. He was winning, won the first set, took a MTO at an appropriate time, tried to push through, couldn’t, lost the second and retired.
@@positivelyviral9634 There are so many sports where there is no such a thing like medical time outs. I don't know too many single sports where it exists. And I suspect the amount of retirements would not increase that much if you eliminate MO's. A lot of really injured players retire anyway later in the match.
Don’t you think it was a little shady that Ostapenko called a MTO when Tomljanovic was up 4-0 in the set?
Ostapenko is just terrible, she is well known for her misbehaviour on the court. She is so unpleasant to watch her playing and that's exactly for her behaviour
Lol. She has the best game in the WTA. Everyone loves to watch her or loves to hate her...that's called being a Queen. Something you never will be.
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 get a load of this simp
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 that’s called the drama queen you mean?
Fab video!! I am on Ajla’s side 🌹 I absolutely believe that players fake injuries when they are loosing to break their opponents rhythm…
I will say I love your Wozniacki calendar
Ostapenko could learn a lesson or two from Federer on sportsmanship
Exactly. Federer is a perfect example of sportsmanship. And how to play the game as it should b. A great champion.
…Ostapenko gets into it with a few players. This British girl (can’t remember her name) yelled at her for throwing her racket at a ballboy.
naomi broady.
She didn’t throw it at the ballboy, but that’s how it was spun.
@@justicegusting2476 …. She threw her racket in his direction and I believe it clipped him. It is what it is.
@@TheFever77 Probably true. Threw it out of frustration, not “at” anyone. Certainly wrong, but not with the maliciousness with which the incident has been spun.
@@justicegusting2476 … No I don’t think she targeted him, but she still should’ve been penalized. Djokovic was disqualified for hitting a ball at a lines-women accidentally but at least he apologized, Ostapenko didn’t give a crap.
It's unsportsman like conduct to call somebody a liar and you have no evidence that they are faking an injury.
All the evidence is there
Just remove MTO duh! You injury you lose
Yes Muchova did it to Ashleigh was off court for 20 minutes Australian open 2021!!!!!
Yes and Barty dealt it professionally. Ajla not so much
@@tkatnss oh I thought Ajla was absolutely correct in what she said!
this time Tomljanovic didn't choke...way to go, Alja
She's a journeyman (woman) player, if Ostapenko was only playing 50% (like she said?) then all the more power for her grabbing the brass ring when she had a chance. and yeah, she's up 4-0 in the final set and thinks Ostapenko is gaming her? Bully on her for calling her out and mentally staying on the attack and finishing it.
The Aussie was very honest and true to herself. Love & respect from India! 🇮🇳 😍🙏 .
Why is tomiljanovic speaking with american accent when she's australian? Seems a bit fake
I think because she's born and living on croatie (europe), english is her second language
Wondered that myself, she's Australian so she speak English well but that's an American accent. Ah, she lives in Boca Raton, FL now (guessing in the really nice part of Boca) yeah, she's picked it up. She may not be a naturalized citizen but that's where she lives now (?)
Everybody knows who's at fault.
Trump?
Bill Cosby …
OJ Simpson
Patrick Beverly
Elon Musk?
Alja should just keep quiet because players will exploit the fact that they now know if they are loosing against her they know what will get under her skin
I dunno about that, she probably reacted properly: "No, I will not sit down" good idea, keep moving, keep thinking about the next point, she knows not to sit down , relax and wait it out. Sure it burns energy, but with two games to go, right strategy.
I know we're no one to judge .. but I stand with the view of ostapenko , I know her attitude many times previously has been awful , but this time it was Alja in the radar (she was being serena of US open 2018 final .. saying whatever she likes) !
I agree with Ostapenko. Weather a player is faking or not, there is no way for the opponent to tell and shouldn’t comment if no rules are being broken. All players take medical timeouts! Are all of them faking it? As a tennis player myself this game takes a huge toll on the body!
Whether
you have never played a tournament, then, mate.
Yes you can tell.
Difference in reaction Emma Raducanu calls an injury timeout 1 set and 3-0 down on centre court in Raducanu's "home" country . Jelena Ostapenko calls a timeout at 1 set all, 4-0 down. Tomijanovic calls out "liar" , throws a strop on court 15 where there is no major tv coverage. It just shows that she picks and chooses who she calls a cheat, even when the circumstances are very similar.
I was thinking the same. I wonder if Emma’s was fake too. If she broke Alja that game at 2-0, I wonder if she still would’ve called MTO
@@roysantiago9131 Emma didn't come back from her time out, so it probably wasn't fake. I just think that she realised that match was gone, and she was overwhelmed by the occassion. She could have at least come back to show her appreaciation to the crowd, who would have paid a lot of money and waited a long time for this match.
it's completely different situations...one is an experienced and already a top player, the other one is a rookie.
I watched the match she was clearly not injured didn’t touch or rub her abdomen like she was in pain
It was done to break the momentum bad sportswomanship
I see people state that Ostapenko took MTO often when she loses however I always watch her matches and as a lot of people mention she almost didn’t take any obvious tactical MTO, and in general she doesn’t take MTO that often compared to other tennis players. I mean, for what reasons people lie there..
Right, apart from today when has she asked for MTO? Like…
@@pdqg she did it down 0-5 to Coco Gauff
Hopefully, Ostapenko's cheating days might now be close to an end.
Well done Ajla, though MTOs are within the rules, and used frequently by 'champions' such as Djokovic.
Still defeat nadal at french open
Yes , they need to fix the MTO deal. Abuse even Novak is guilty of this
It is my duty to inform that the injury was real. Ostapenko quit the doubles tournament too.
This Tomjlanovic is an arrogant jerk. She said in the press conference that she can tell if someone is lying or not and that she also has the power to know if someone is injured or not. If she is so powerful and gifted, I’d better ask her for the lottery numbers or to predict the future. Or, maybe, the FBI could call her to help them in investigations to know if the suspect is lying. Disgusting player.
What do you call this type of player?
th-cam.com/video/Y0NAtERhwfg/w-d-xo.html
Or this?
th-cam.com/video/TCAh-pnXP9g/w-d-xo.html
Or when she threw her racket at a ball boy?
And she pulled out of doubles BEFORE this match.
If 9 of 10 is a fake it doesnt make it better
Whoever lies once is not believed
Cheating comes easy to some
I agree, Marcos-- I've lost respect for tomiljanovic. What a stupid set of comments about knowing if someone is injured. What, you think you're God? Not saying gamesmanship doesn't exist, but wow, I guess she didn't have much self-control and sure came off like an arrogant jerk. Hope she will re-evaluate her behavior at some point.
0:35 the stache though
Lulz
She can not say, I know when somebody is injured.
Not shocked about Jelena . All the younger players do this to stop the momentum. Also shocked Ajla made it this far. So there you go.
Get rid of the medical time out. Players are abusing it. Go home if you can't play.
Why did you put Djokovic picture in the video? What a great champion like him has to do with this silly drama. That is quite disrestpectfull towards The Greatest Player of All Times. Please remove it. Until you do you get a huge thumb down.
If it is within the rules, then just shut up and get on with it.
It really is not Ajla's place to presume Jelena's motives, these medical time-outs are a part of the game now
Refer directly to Tim McDonald’s post. Spot on, thus justifying Tomljanovic’s position.
Brian Mac Kenzie ok, thanks for the deeper insight. That is fair.
I'm not gonna defend either player, but, a professional should never get involved in an opponent verbally, or complain to an official, instead they should only focus on their own game plan period, and see any attempt by your opponent at breaking momentum as a positive because it clearly shows their game plan is succeeding for their opponent to use other tactics other than play, sooner or later they will be found out, and supporters from both sides will see it too, you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time,
To fix this problem, no more injury time out is allowed. Try to fix your problem on court. If you can't, retire.
such an annoying encounter. I hate when tennis players do that, there is no doubt she is a liar.
🙀💥🐈
Love a good cat fight
Mc Enroe was perhaps the most unsportsmanlike player in the history of the sport. His temper tantrums only ever occurred when he was losing matches and in trouble and were deliberately staged by him in order to disrupt his opponents equilibrium. It amuses me to hear him criticising the on-court behaviour of players today during his punditry duties.
Faking an injury at that time is disgraceful, she was cheating & lying, she's bad for tennis.
Ajla should not have said such comments about her colleague and as a fellow athlete.
Djokovic hace esto cada vez que va perdiendo
I demand Southpark to take an action.
There is no way to prove that she was faking an injury, so you should just assume that it is genuine. This was within the rules, so there is no reason to complain. Jelena doesn't get treated with enough respect at Wimbledon. She is a grand slam champion, and current Eastbourne Champion, but she is pushed to the outside courts Jelena gets criticised for standing her ground, if she was a man she would be praised for standing up for himself. Hope to see her back soon.
Thank you! Jelena is a Grandslam Champion but she's put out on the back door courts. Mean while Barbora K is the reigning French Open champion but she's been out on to the smaller courts so not as bad as Jelena was treated however Jelena is fun and exciting to watch, Barbora isn't!
it's a PROFESSIONAL sport, mate--which means it's for money. if tennis punters LIKED Osta (they don't!) she'd get some billings. think about it. she's as loathed as Genie was, as Yastremska is, as Poots is, as Williams is. as Kyrigos is on the men's side, and as Soderling was. you haven't a clue.
She may well be a slam winner but she's a cheat and classless... can't have the likes of her on the show courts.
Respect for this? th-cam.com/video/TCAh-pnXP9g/w-d-xo.html

Don't know either player. The winner has a great mustache Lol
its just her curved upper lip
Not surprised u don't know tomljanovic coz shed not won anything but ostapenko is a grand Slam winner .might just be a casual fan
@@user-vc4xo7hw5q No I don't really follow women's tennis because I'm not gay.
I hate these players who abuse the system. There's nothing an umpire/player could do unless wta/atp will do something about this
If you are a good player, no amount of time out taken by your opponent will make you lose the match.
That is false, momentum exists in many sports, a team or player might build momentum and be in a good position because of it, if you understand any sport like soccer, tennis, basketball etc you know that momentum exists. The intention of the strategic medical time out is to break that momentum, imagine that in soccer a team that is under so much pressure that eventually will lead to loose could stop the game
Wrong. There have been many instances where momentum has been broken, and the player has lost.
Incorrect. Think in future.
Ostapenko reminds me of Putin, they will make blatant lies, then they demand respect from it.
The bottom line is you CANNOT know or assume anything about another person's body or injury. You can make a guess, have a gut feeling, or make observations, but you never have grounds to claim you know better than a physio and their patient. Tomljanovic should have the professionalism to simply be quiet about things she cannot control, focus on her own game and keep her ignorant comments to herself. This remains true even if later it was proven Ostapenko was "faking" or exaggerating. Just be quiet and remain professional. Don't accuse someone of lying when you simply do not know and cannot know the facts, because you are not a physio or a medical expert.
It would be foolish not to take advantage of the delay tactic. The medical time out needs to be removed from the rule book.
Ajla moustaches are a bit terrible ...
why not just let them call time out? seems like a silly issue with an easy fix.
Alja could have been fined for violation. What is she a doctor?. You can question but once you test umpires patience and continue then should get slapped with warning for violation. I've had it, up to here with your arguing, bang
I know that Jelena has a bratty reputation on the tour, but... I'm strangely attracted to her. She's cute in a non-obvious way idk
If Ostapenko had been 4-0 up in the third set, would she have asked for a physio and a time out? No way. She was bullshitting and she's not the only player to do it.
Ostapenko, full of trick 😀😀
the question i didn't see anyone ask so far is was she / Ostapenko exhibiting any tenderness/grimaces favoring the area before. you don't get a acute abdominal issue like that without symptoms/signs before
“You know she’s faking”
Everybody laughs and claps.
For anyone who defends Ostapenko: do a TH-cam search for her conduct in other matches over the years. She is the most classless player on your.
Daria Kasatkina would agree with Tomljanovic.
spot on, brian.
Exactly.
@Einars Dubrovskis stop projecting 😂
No she wouldn't. Yes Jelena is difficult but she was injured. Pulled out of Wimbledon doubles due to the abdomen injury.
Great video and I love that Ajla called her out and let it be known, she thinks she's faking. Yes it was legal and it was good of her to let Jelena know that she knows her tactic.
Go Ajla!
It was ALSO legal for Jelena to call a time out...and no, etiquette dictates that what Ajla did was classless and rude. No tennis player unless she's a major b**** would ever question a player's injury.
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 I think in my original statement…I said it was legal. I guess she’s classless and I’m proud of her for doing it and glad it didn’t work in Jelena’s favor.
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669
Yes it is legal but liar and not in sportsmanlike
@@michaelb2685 yeah because you like ATs idiot boyfriend, right? I support Jelena.
"I hope you feel better" "YOU'RE DISRESPECTFUL!"
Difficult to express Tom’s sarcasm when typing quote.
Her ploy backfired! It fuelled Alja's energy to win the match!!
LOL she needs no ploy! She's a French Open Grandslam champion.
You know Ajla is losing tomorrow. She's the worst player on the tour. If Ostapenko was playing at 50% of her level, she would have beaten her. To me, it looked like Tomljanovic was actually scared Ostapenko was really doing this...Yastremska did this in Thailand vs Ajla...Yastremska won the title after calling MTO late in set 3...Ajla probably still has mental damage from that.
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 Going through this process of thought it means we, the people, have 'mental damage' not accepting the machinations of the jerks among us; it isn't a great example for the generations to come
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 This comment just shows how arrogant and disrespectful Ostapenko is. No top 100 player beats another Top 100 player with just 50 % of her level. A comment like this after a loss is really cheap.
@Giavannie Gianguzzi she's reached quite a few finals and won 3 more titles since then. Tell me how many WTA titles tomlja has
If there is a pattern with a player, then that's how one could recognize this type of unsportsmanlike behavior.
Am i the Only one who is actually missing such drama in tennis
Only thing that makes womens tennis interesting
Only two things keep women's tennis from being very bland..
1. The looks of the women themselves
2. The drama any possible extracurricular "cat fights," which Zac speaks of
I stopped watching tennis after jimmy connors retired lol
LOL..
I never stop.
Other than the good old classic television shows, tennis is about all I tune into.
DRAMA!
I like Ostapenko but here it definitely looked like a tactical MTO, I mean Ajla was 4-0 and on fire and suddenly Osta needs medical support?? Maybe she does have some mild injury but the timing of the MTO etc indicates for me that she was trying to break Ajla's momentum
She pulled out of doubles she pulled out of Wimbledon she's injured if it was a strategic timeout to throw off the opponent it would have been at two love in the final set not four love there's no chance then.
@@rsb512 if there's no chance, and following your logic then there are 2 options: 1) end the match without making anything and don't ask for MTO 2) retire. The fact that she asked for the MTO shows that she tried something, injuried or not she tried something to have a chance. About Ajla it happened to her before vs Yastremska in 2019 in Thailand, she was winning and suddenly Yastremska was very injured, obviously after the MTO Yas was playing perfectly normal, she broke Ajla's momentum and won. So here I completely understand Ajla, the reaction was probably wrong; to say "we all know she is lying" but in the end Ostapenko was trying something injuried or not. As I said, why ask for MTO if you don't have any chance?
SO WHAT ?????? Totally LEGAL !!!! When she was playing bad ,she could do it too . They didn't make a rules, they just following them. For me just another looser crying
Ostapenko quit the doubles tournament too. The injury is real. Besides that, mental game and class are also part of tennis.
Tomjlanovic also demonstrated an incredible arrogance. She said that MTO should be allowed only if someone is in crazy pain. And that she has the supernatural power to know if someone is really injured. This is the typical arrogance of someone that was spoiled by the parents. It is normal in WTA, because this young girls support their entire family with tennis money, so their parents make them believe they are gifted. Btw, she is just number 75. Hahaha.

Alja was just cautious because she's been a victim already of fake injury.. Yatremska... Haha
Yeah exactly, and that sounds like a her problem not an Ostapenko problem lol.
Haha. I loved that match. Now Yastremska and Ostapenko are going to troll the hell out of Tomljanovic when they face her again.
Good on you Alja !!! And tell her to stop the Ridiculous screeching and grunting that crap is over .......
And I always thought Ostapenko was some kind of medical condition.
Ostapenko is a chronic cheat and a big disgrace to tennis. It's about time someone had enough guts to call her out for it. Big kudos to Tomljanovic.
Chill down bro. These two just want to win and got into an argument. Both aren't angels but the don't even have to be. The're professional tennisplayers. Everything is fine. Chill down
Yeah, I'm with you. The whole MTO rule is bullshit, and the most abused rule in any sport!! It should be abolished or amended so only a player leading in the set can call a MTO - like Kyrgios last night. Then we will see how many MTO's are called??
Hardly any I'd venture!!
Jelena has an injured abdomen and pulled out of doubles at Wimbledon with a great young Ukrainian player they could have gone all the way. She was injured
@@rsb512 Injured or not, she had to pull out of the doubles otherwise she'd expose herself as a cheater. You see, if you lie, you've got to go all the way to validate the lie.
@@gremsa Quite honestly, this drama only adds more spice to women's tennis. At the end of the day, i really don't give a damn. But, that said, let's call a spade a spade: Ostapenko was loosing this match and, as a last resort, she chose to use a MTO loophole to change the course of the match. I didn't work and, on the day, the better player still won. More power to Tomljanovic, more power fair play.
She said "IF"... literally she exposed herself..
I’m sick of these controlling umpires. She had no right to tell Ajla to sit down.
Yes she did. Ajla had no right to call Ostapenko a liar in front of thr Wimbledon crowd. Have some class.

I think they should get rid of injury timeouts. Can't do it in a mma fight and really this is what a hard match is. If you are injured , you lose. Like a fight.
A
I agree … if you are injured you are out!!
If you break your racket you lose too.
if you're always grunting, you're out
At least forfeit one game for each X minutes that you're being treated.
I have to say I always like to watch Ostapenko but this time I was a little embarrassed. Her coach is going to have to sort out this behaviour as everyone will be gunning for her.
Such a shame after winning Eastbourne ☹
Winning that is irrelevant. She has no sportsmanship.
How weak was alija vs barty today? Total capitulation.... gets 300k for being an awful tennis player.
Please cut womens prize money by 80%
What about aabakneoa vs jabeur ?
Such a fun match to be at live haha
You are so lucky! This is peak WTA drama lol
thank you for this, mate.
I never believed in MTO in tennis. A lot of top players did it in their matches & after MTO they come out stronger & faster, & winning the championship. Its goal is to break the winning players “ momentum” nothing else!
Yeah MTO's are total bullshit. If you're injured then don't play. As a sportsperson myself I always knew when I could play and when I couldn't.

Well done Ayla on maintaining your focus and kicking Ostapenko out. She was clearly the better player and I would have been a shame if this use of the (long) injury time, has turned the match around. You can't play with a genuine abb injury. Look what happened to Kygrios.

Yessssss
Ostapenko always been super cheater
how, when and where?? this is unsubstantiated character assassination
Where's previous examples ? People just love to use 1 incident to revise history and pile up on someone
ask Kasatkina, Collins and other players what they think about her
@@sonictype theres a difference between a brat and cheater. and collins and her are literally friends lol

You a lawyer ?
I thought there was a rule that you could only call an Injury timeout on your serve, not your opponents. Someone tell me for sure if that is a rule.
Just make out girls!
Accused of being a bad loser, she crossed the line🎾
@@Jackgritty28 stop liking your own comments, it's pathetic
Keep it for Pornhub, mate.
I suggest either to forbid it or to change it into a regular timeout (medical or not) as a part of the strategic game 🙂. They do it with volleyball, so why not with tennis?
I adore Alja’s body especially from behind. But whether she fake it or not, that’s Jelena’s right. Don’t judge it. If tournament allows it, then you should obey.
AT was arguing that the injury was not an "acute" one and that JO didn't should have got the MTO before she (AT) served when they were not even changing side and resting. Then she was also speaking out that she thought it was a completely fake talk.
But despite this last part, she was absolutely right on the first one.
And this is why she wanted to speak to the supervisor.
She should have finished one more game and then could go for the medical timeout if that's what she really needs. Very odd to ask for timeout in the middle of the game and didn't look sick at all
Ostapenko was probably faking it, but Tomljanovic can't call his colleague such a liar, he was even winning 4-0. The same could happen to her next time and if they doubt her, she will be angry too. Very disrespectful.
If Ostapenko is cheat then nadal is a cheater too. Both did the same thing several times.
Don't forget Novak.
Don't forget Roddick
I can understand why Alja called Jelena our after the Yastremska incident in 2019. However even if Jelena was faking, I think it was unprofessional to call her out in front of everyone. Something similar happened with Monfils and Sonego and Gaël just talked to him about it at the net very calmly. It was quite rude tbh to hear Alja call Jelena a liar because she ‘knows when a player is injured’. However if Jelena was faking hopefully this serves as a warning to her.
Nope… no need to be professional to trash
Rude, maybe. Outside the rules, absolutely not. I say if you suspect it, call it out. Two can play the mind games.
Aussie skills on show.
Ostapenko is very often rude and disrespectful.
"call the supervisor"... we got karens in tennis now
Not all women who stand up for themselves are karens
@@TheHrchkitj3 its the way they do it
@@locomixer karen defending another karen !
The Karen is the bint who spits her dummy out even when blatantly cheating then goes complaining!
All the people in the comments saying “oh it’s unprofessional to call her out”, Screw that. We need more of it, not less. Call her out to her face on court. If she wants to cheat, make her feel like utter shit when she walks back on court with the crowd against her.
I like it. Everyone wants harmony and friendship I want war and chaos
War cleans out the evilness fresh start
That's why UFC is on the rise
while tennis.. meh.. it's stagnant.
@@PanzerCrewman fresh start for your opponents
I don't get why people are saying that Ajla is a better player. The same year in another tournament Jelena beat the Ajla with confidence. Anyways these are all assumptions. And Ajla's accusations were out of fear not out of confidence, that's completely clear. Confident player, would sit and wait, not throw out some false accusations. After this match, my respect for Ajla is down. She is the weak one in my opinion, even if Jelena did simulate.
It happens all the time, e.g. Muchova vs. Barty in last AO where MTO was suspected to be a tactic to break the opponent's momentum. Professional players should learn to deal also with that.
Muchova had evident troubles, blood pressure issue or something similar, for sure that mto broke Barty's momentum, but she wasn't faking
It does happen but it’s not supposed to be used that way.
@@ldbpodast4587 agree 💯
Djokovic is the king of gamesmanship and medical timeouts. He has God on his side because he makes so many miraculous recoveries.
Ajla obviously called it right there are only so many types of abdominal injury you can get in tennis most are muscular and none of them heal that quickly:
Ostapenko is a great player but with a bad "cheater" character, met her in Stuttgart 2019 at the Porsche Grand Prix, she was the only player who didn't give me an autograph, only said "later later"
Djokovic does it in almost every match he trails ( though that is too few 🤣) , suddenly runs to the bathroom. I remember Federer doing it once. Of course it is done to break the opponent's rhythm.
Yes. Happens with certain...people from some countries. Always the same region. Now I will be called racist. I am not. I am just very observant.
RF has never called any timeout...maybe once? I don't recall. He is the good example of sportsmanship in tennis. Play like an adult professional, or stay home with your mummy/coach.

@@happyswissjoe Good sportsmanship and Roger! give me a damn break! The same guy who couldn't give young Novak his credit, and called it ' lucky shot'.
