Players at the Wimbledon have been fined large amounts for swearing too loudly, unsportsmanlike behaviour and “abuse of rackets or equipment.”
The biggest fine stands at $12,500 when 2024 men's doubles champion Henry Patten was penalised in the category of verbal abuse. The British was fined on June 29 for what has been described as alleged verbal abuse of a staff member at an off-site practice ground. Patten told local media that he has filed an appeal that will be handled after the tournament.
Patten and his doubles partner Heliovaara were eliminated in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.
Further, Amanda Anisimova, who is scheduled to play top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals on Thursday, was imposed a fine of $4,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct during her fourth-round victory over Linda Noskova.
French doubles player Theo Arribage was fined $7,500 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct during his second-round loss on Saturday, and next highest was Adrian Mannarino's $6,000 fine, also for unsportsmanlike conduct during his second-round win last week.
Overall, seven men have been fined so far amounting to $36,000. The total for the eight women who have been fined so far is $29,500.
The highest single fine on the women's side is $5,000, which was imposed on Elena Pridankina for unsportsmanlike conduct during the singles qualifying tournament in late June.
Chloe Paquet, Hailey Baptiste and men's players Alex Bolt and Zizou Bergs were all handed fines for “audible obscenity.”
Colton Smith of the United States was fined $2,000 for abuse of rackets or equipment.
