Daniil Medvedev made headlines Sunday during his U.S. Open first round match when he had quite the outburst after a photographer stepped on the court before the match ended. His reaction was based on what chair umpire Greg Allensworth did afterwards and now the tournament has handed him a lofty punishment.
The U.S. Open fined Medvedev $42,500 on Wednesday in the aftermath of the incident, which is more than one-third of his $110,000 prize money from the tournament. The breakdown of Medvedev's fine includes $30,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct and $12,500 for racket abuse from when he destroyed his racket after the loss.
