TROUBLE IN QUEENS? GAL PALS INéS AND CHLOE brEAK UP BEFORE SET POINT
Flushing Meadows witnessed more than just fierce competition yesterday, as tennis stars and rumored couple Inés Costa and
Chloe Murphy reportedly ended their relationship shortly before taking the court.
Sources close to the players say the emotional breakup may have fueled the intense energy seen during the match, with Costa
delivering a particularly aggressive performance against her now-former partner.
In a disturbing turn, Murphy was reportedly assaulted by a fan believed to be supporting Costa. An unidentified liquid was
thrown on the American player as she exited the stadium. Security quickly intervened, rushing Murphy to a nearby hospital.
Fortunately, officials later confirmed the substance was harmless, and Murphy has since been cleared medically.
Authorities have arrested the alleged assailant and investigations are ongoing.
