Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has been hit with a $10,000 (around £8,200) fine after he admitted to spitting at a spectator during his first-round win at Wimbledon.
That was one of several displays of unsportsmanlike conduct courtesy of Kyrgios as he beat Britain's Paul Jubb 3-6, 6-1, 7-5, 6-7(3), 7-5. As a result, the 27-year-old has received the largest penalty of any player so far at SW19 this year.
A total of 14 players were handed fines after Wimbledon confirmed the penalties so far in this year's tournament. Alexander Ritschard—who exited the first round at the hands of Stefanos Tsitsipas—came closest to matching Kyrgios' punishment with a $5,000 (£4,100) fine, also for unsportsmanlike conduct.
