The screenshot is taken from the famous Serbian player Novak Djokovic who was fined 6,100 pounds (approximately 250,000 Taiwan dollars) by the General Assembly when he lost to the Spanish ball king Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon men’s singles final and smashed his racket during the match. The highest single fine at Wimbledon this year.
After being broken in the third game of the final set, Jokovic lost control of his emotions and angrily smashed his racket at the net post. The entire racket was twisted and broken, and the net post was also slightly damaged. At present, the chief judge gave a warning, and the audience booed constantly.
After the game, the conference imposed a heavy fine of 6,100 pounds on the grounds of “misusing the racket”, which was the largest single fine at Wimbledon this year. However, Jokovic earned a bonus of 1.175 million pounds (about 48.88 million Taiwan dollars) by winning the runner-up.
It is worth mentioning that Mirra Andreeva, a 16-year-old Russian female tennis player, was fined twice for slapping shots. However, the decision was controversial because she slipped and fell for the second time, and the racket fell from her hand.
