American Taylor Towsend withdrew from the Beijing Day event after a Chinese kitchen post “ crazy ”

World player n ° 2 in double Taylor Townsend withdrew from the China Open in Beijing due to “a change of calendar,” said WTA on Thursday, a few days after controversial comments on Chinese cuisine.

The American had been criticized for calling “crazy” food buffet when he was in competition at the Billie Jean King Cup in Shenzhen who ended on Sunday.

“What is the hell … The turtle and the fraud are wild,” she posted on Instagram.

“These people literally kill frogs, ouaouarons. Isn’t it those who give you warts, boils and stuff? ” Before she added, before apologizing later.

Townsend, 29, was to be the seeded of Czech partner Katerina Siniakova in the double female in Beijing.

The couple was beaten in finalists at the US Open earlier this month.
