Young alleges racial remarks in heated New York Open argument with Harrison

Fellow Americans Ryan Harrison and Donald Young got into a heated argument during their first-round match at the inaugural New York Open on Monday night. It became even uglier on Twitter afterward, as Young alleged that Harrison made some racially-charged comments–which Harrison denied.

Audio from the altercation is unclear at this point.

Harrison ended up prevailing 6-3, 7-6(4) after one hour and 31 minutes, improving to 3-1 lifetime in the head-to-head series with Young. There was a handshake following the match…but just barely.

Rumors of what was said during the argument began when Young’s girlfriend took to Twitter. “When Donald yelled, ‘C’mon,'” Valentina Lee wrote, “Ryan got mad and told him, ‘That’s what all you black people do.'” Shortly thereafter, Young also alleged that something racial in nature took place. Harrison responded just a few minutes later, denying Young’s allegations.
