Ons Jabeur recently marked an end to Jelena Ostapenko‘s run for the title in Madrid. The Tunisian managed to take full control over her opponent taking her down in straight sets with a final scoreline of 6-0, 6-4. However, besides the fact that Jabeur made noise with her performance on the court, loud noises emerged from her box as well.

Jabeur seemed to be dominant right from the start of the match. While everyone was excited to see her take down the opponent in style, the members present in her box started to get over-excited, making enough noise that turned out to be disturbing for Jelena Ostapenko.

Although the Latvian managed to keep calm for a while despite the loud cheers from her opponent’s husband and coach, she finally decided to shut them down. Turning towards the box, she lashed out in frustration in an attempt to remind them that it was a match between two players. Many people present in the crowd, including the journalists, witnessed the incident and admitted that Jabeur’s box might be loud enough to be distracting.

This is a developing story!!!
