On January 29, Beijing time, the Australian Open Organizing Committee announced the list of fines for player violations so far, and Russian star Medvedev and Greek adept Tsitsipas were all on the list, causing strong concern among netizens.
By the time of the men's singles semifinals, the highest fine was imposed on Canadian player Shapovalov, totaling $15,000 (about 95,000 yuan). His violations mainly occurred in the quarter-final with Spain's "clay king" Nadal, who was dissatisfied with the opponent's serve and the long interval between receiving the ball and speaking ill of the referee, and had the behavior of throwing the racket to vent his emotions. Second behind Shapovanov in the list of fines is Greek adept Tsitsipas, with a total fine of $13,000 (about 83,000 yuan). His violation was to receive off-field coaching three times in three games, and in the semi-finals he was accused by rival Medvedev of accepting off-field coaching from his father, but Tsitsipas denied it in an interview.
Russian Medvedev, who has reached the men's singles final of the Australian Open for two consecutive years, ranks third in this year's Australian Open fines list, totaling $12,000. His violations occurred mainly in the semi-final match against Tsitsipas, where he was fined for making unethical gestures or gestures and for violating sportsmanship. In fourth place was the host player Kyrgios, who was dubbed the "bad boy" of tennis by fans, and the fine was caused by a wrestling during the game. In addition to the above four people, fans familiar with Zverev, Evans, etc. have also been fined by the Australian Open official violations. Compared with male players, there are many fewer female players who are fined, only 5, and most of them are fined for receiving off-court coaching.
