ATP to investigate Young claims against Harrison

New York, February 14: The ATP will review the video and audio from Donald Young's match with Ryan Harrison after the latter was accused of racism.

Young subsequently accused American compatriot Harrison of racism, posting on Twitter: "I'm shocked and disappointed, Ryan Harrison, to hear you tell me how you really feel about me as a black tennis player in the middle of our NY match. I thought this was supposed to be an inclusive gentleman's sport."

"Any video/audio will 100 per cent clear me and I encourage anyone with the available resources to find it."

Addressing the issue, an ATP spokesperson said: "The ATP takes any allegations of racial prejudice extremely seriously. A further review of all video and audio recording from the match will take place as this matter is investigated further.

"No further comment will be made until the completion of the investigation."
