Kazakh tennis player Yulia Putintseva showed visible frustration during her third-round exit at the US Open, losing to Jasmine Paolini.
After losing the first set and falling behind 4-2 in the second, a moment unfolded when a ball girl struggled to serve her the balls. Putintseva ignored the first toss, allo🧸wing the ball to hit her before watching the second bounce off her feet.
The crowd booed the player as she eventually caught a third ball without acknowledging the ball girl. Footage later showed the girl returning to her spot, shaking her head with a smile in disbelief. After the match, Putintseva took to social media to apologize, admitting she was "p***ed off" at herself d♌uring the incident.
Putintseva, a fo𝔉rmer top 30 player, ultimately lost 6-3, 6-4, to the fifth seed Paolini.
