Scandal at the US Open
Boris Becker: “Who does she think she is”
She didn't do herself any favors! After her unsightly behavior towards a ball girl, tennis player Yulia Putintseva is now also earning criticism from legend Boris Becker.
"Who does Putintseva think she is...", Boris Becker rants on social media. The German tennis icon is annoyed by the "terrible behavior" of the Russian, who has been competing for Kazakhstan since 2012.
Ball girl humiliated
Putintseva made negative headlines during her two-set US Open defeat against Italy's Jasmine Paolini. A ball girl threw a yellow felt ball to the 29-year-old tennis player. But Putintseva simply let it bounce off her stomach. She also ignored the young girl's second ball - you can see it here in the video:
A completely inexplicable action - the poor ball girl felt all of Putintseva's frustration. The athlete only caught the third ball. She then collected the previously thrown balls.
Apology via Instagram
"To be honest, it wasn't about her. I was really angry with myself," Putintseva now apologized in her Instagram story. She was "in her thoughts": "All the ball kids are doing a fantastic job."
