SHENZHEN, China (AP) — American tennis star Taylor Townsend has apologized “from the bottom of my heart” for making disparaging comments about Chinese food. Her original comments on social media—followed by her apology—came before the United States plays Kazakhstan at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Shenzhen, China. Ostapenko later apologized on social media, saying English is not her first language and that when she used the word “education” she meant tennis etiquette. A reporter had asked Townsend, who is Black, whether she thought there were racial undertones to what Ostapenko said on the court. Townsend later said it was “great that she went to social media and apologized.”
