Hao-Ching Chan does not participate in a post-match handshake with Jeļena Ostapenko after Chan and doubles partner Maya Joint lose at the US Open, with footage and reports describing heated scenes at the net.
All outlets attribute the moment to Chan walking away from the court during the handshake exchange, rather than approaching Ostapenko as typically expected after matches. The incident is framed as occurring immediately following the doubles defeat, with the context being the end-of-match protocol and the competitive emotions that follow a loss.
The outlets provide the same core account of the exchange, focusing on the visible gesture and the apparent avoidance of a handshake. While the wording emphasizes the “heated” nature of the moment, they do not add materially different details about causes beyond the match outcome. No additional statements from the players are included in the provided summaries, leaving the broader background and any underlying reasons unspecified across sources.
