"Racism" Storm Hits US Open, American Called "Uneducated" | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G

The 2025 US Open has turned into a battlefield of controversy. After Daniil Medvedev’s meltdown in round one, tennis is once again in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Jelena Ostapenko is now facing a racism storm after her shocking comments towards American star Taylor Townsend following their second-round clash. Townsend stunned Ostapenko with a straight-sets victory, but the handshake at the net spiralled into insults, boos from fans, and global outrage. While Ostapenko insists her remarks were misunderstood, many believe the Latvian crossed a dangerous line. Did she disrespect her opponent, her sport, and its values? Rupha Ramani breaks down the heated exchange, the fallout, and why this incident could go down as one of the ugliest moments in US Open history.

Also on the show, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has slammed foreign experts for commenting on India's Asia Cup squad. Prominent names like Brad Haddin and AB de Villiers expressed their concerns over India's squad and Shreyas Iyer's omission. Is Gavaskar's criticism fair? Manchester United were embarrassed after losing to a fourth-tier English football side, Grimsby Town. The Red Devils have now been knocked out of the League Cup. Ruben Amorim had to apologise to United fans for the loss. Who is responsible for Man United's downfall? And a new chapter has begun in Pulwama's history. The town, known for the infamous terror attack in 2019, started a new innings with cricket. A day-night cricket match was organised as fans turned up in huge numbers. Can Pulwama produce India's next cricketer?
