Raging Tomljanovic, 28, said: “Game-wise, there was nothing wrong with her from my side.
“I have played her. I have played many people. I know when someone is injured and when they’re not.
“Then to top it all off, for her to call me disrespectful at the end of the match is laughable.
“I think it’s disgraceful behaviour from someone that is a Slam champion because kids look at her.
“I’m sorry, if she was injured, she could have gone about it in a way better way.
“Whatever she says, she can say. But this is my opinion on it.”
The former French Open champion defended her decision to ask for the physio to treat an abdominal injury at 4-0 down in the final set and claimed Tomljanovic’s comments were ‘disrespectful’.
Fuming Ostapenko, 24, said: “You cannot say that. In front of everybody, call me liar?

“Because she knows zero about what I had, my injury and everything.
“It don’t think it’s respectful from her side. You are winning, but it does not mean you can do everything you want.
“If I played at least 50 per cent I would have beaten her.”
