Serbian tennis player lost head in the final of the English tournament
Novak Djokovic was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz, world leader, in the final of the Wimbledon tournament and, a day later, he already knows that he will have to pay a fine of around seven thousand euros, due to having destroyed a racket against the net post during the game.
The moment came after the Serbian tennis player, No. 2 in the ATP ranking, allowed a service break by the Spanish prodigy, in the fifth set, with Djokovic not containing his anger and sending his racket against one of the net posts. That break turned out to be decisive in the outcome of the final of the Grand Slam on turf, since Alcaraz grabbed that advantage and never let go of it until he became champion in London.

Nick Kyrgios is the king of fines and has already accumulated almost a million euros in fines of this type across the ATP circuit.
