Coco Vandeweghe and Yulia Putintseva didn't have anything nice to say to each other following their Brussels Open qualifying match on Monday.
After the 18-year-old Putintseva won in three sets, Vandeweghe took to Twitter and accused her opponent of poor sportsmanship.
I have never played a person with worst sportsmanship... Putintseva...

...How can anyone comment on my game style after you have already won the match in such a negative way is unbelievable!...
— CoCo Vandeweghe (@CoCoVandey) May 20, 2013
Her exact words were "You are a terrible player only serve. I win all the rallies" that comment is totally uncalled for...
— CoCo Vandeweghe (@CoCoVandey) May 20, 2013
...and on top of it your father clapping while you say this haha, unreal! #venting

"I can handle the fist pumps and the 'Come On's' on double faults and let court winners, but saying anything while we are done playing is totally uncalled for," Vandeweghe told Tennis.com of the alleged incident. "Just rude and immature is what I would call it. With the father on top of it."
When Putintseva heard about Vandeweghe's claims, she told her side of the story.
And by the way saw a twit of Coco... Wont comment much!Really surprise that people can act like that after losing to younger player:p

— Yulia Putintseva (@PutintsevaYulia) May 20, 2013
