Tennis stars hit with hefty punishment after coming to blows in feisty on-court scrap

Tennis stars Corentin Moutet and Adrian Andreev have been hit with hefty fines over their on-court bust-up, which forced an umpire to intervene.

Moutet and Andreev came to blows at the net following their clash at the recent Open d'Orleans in France. Andreev, ranked 247th in the world, emerged victorious 2-6, 7-6, 7-6, before the two players were involved in a strong handshake before barging into one another, much to the shock of the crowd in Orleans.

The verbals continued as they made their way around the net and they shoved each other again, with their rackets still in hand, before the umpire was forced to get in-between them. Moutet later took to Instagram to slam his opponent and has been handed a second fine by the ATP.
