DANIIL MEDVEDEV has been fined more than half of his Australian Open prize money for his behaviour at Melbourne Park.
The Russian, a three-time beaten finalist, crashed out of the tournament in the second round following a five-set loss to US teenager Learner Tien, during which he received a point penalty after throwing his racket, while he also skipped the mandatory post-match press conference.
He was fined $66,000 (approximately £54,000), one of the biggest amounts in grand slam history, for unsportsmanlike conduct, plus an extra $10,000 (approximately £8,200) for breaking a net camera by repeatedly smashing it with his racket during his first-round win over Kasidit Samrej.
