American tennis star Frances Tiafoe has been fined $120,000 by the ATP for his verbal behavior towards an umpire at the Shanghai Masters in October.

The ATP Fines Committee broke down Tiafoe's fine by $60,000 for "verbal abuse" and $60,000 for "aggravated behavior." It's rare for a tennis player to be fined over $100,000 on the tour, so this is quite the lofty expense.
