US OPEN Drama During Week One and Breakout Star Taylor Townsend
Description
In "Serving Aces" Alexandra Stevenson and Hugues Laverdiere discuss week one at the US Open. Alexandra brings up Taylor Townsend's breakout run and the outburst from her opponent, Ostapenko after the match. Alexandra tells Ougi that she thinks Ostapenko was trying to take down Townsend because of her lack of traditional etiquette on the court. Townsend is known for warming up at the net and big celebrations that annoy some of the more staid players - though Ostapenko is far from staid. Alexandra and Ougi talk about other players who ruffled feathers in a big way during the first week at the Open. Alexandra and Ougi picked the final four for the Open. Newsy notes finds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engaged - and Texas' young quarterback Arch Manning having a not so good day against Ohio State.
