Wimbledon 2025: Henry Patten, Adrian Mannarino among 12 players slapped with four-figure fine for staff abuse and on-court outbursts

Time of India12 hours ago
Wimbledon 2025 so far has been thrilling for both the players and the fans, but the controversies around it have also kept the audiences on edge. Most recently, British doubles player Henry Patten has been hit with the heaviest fine of Wimbledon till now. The 29-year-old player has been asked to pay £9,000 for verbally abusing staff as they tried to cut his practice session short.
According to Express UK, after this, the second-highest fine was issued at £4,400 to Adrian Mannarino for his unprofessional behaviour in his second-round clash with Valentin Royer. Following this, Mannarino won that tie but crashed out to Andrey Rublev in the round of three.

Other players who have been slapped with fines for their unprofessional behaviour
At the third highest place stands Russian star Elena Pridankina, at £3,600. She has also been slapped with a fine because of her unsportsmanlike conduct during her first-round doubles defeat to Jelena Ostapenko and Hsieh Su-wei.
Other than them, four more players were fined £2,900. While Zizou Bergs and Halley Baptiste were punished for an audible obscenity, and Varvara Gracheva has been charged with abuse of rackets.
Anna Kalinskaya has also been charged with a fine for her unsportsmanlike conduct. German Jule Niemeier has been docked with £1,800 for her behaviour during her second-round qualifying loss.
Finally, the last four players were fined £1,500 each, including Alex Bolt and Chloe Paquet, who were charged for audible obscenities; Colton Smith for abuse of rackets and equipment; and Luca Van Assche for unprofessional behaviour.
Kyrgios's absence cuts into Wimbledon's fine totals
With Kyrgios absent from the main draw at Wimbledon, the tournament is reclaiming far less in fines than it typically might when the outspoken Aussie is competing.
Nick Kyrgios says he's likely paid close to 800,000 Australian dollars in fines throughout his career.
'Yeah, I've copped some hefty ones,' he admitted. 'Altogether, I'd say I'm nearing around 800 grand.'

Jannik Sinner escapes upset as Grigor Dimitrov's injury sends him to quarterfinals

World number one Jannik Sinner was handed one of the biggest escapes in the history of Wimbledon as an unfortunate injury to Grigor Dimitrov allowed him to progress to the quarter-finals on Monday, July 7. Having beaten Sinner in successive sets 6-3, 7-5, Dimitrov was on the verge of history as he was about to enter the Wimbledon quarters after a whopping ten all of his dreams were shattered after an unfortunate pectoral injury forced him to withdraw from the match. The Bulgarian immediately fell on the ground after holding his serve in the third set as he felt some discomfort in his chest was taken away by the physio for a medical timeout as everyone feared the worst. Within a few minutes, a teary-eyed Dimitrov emerged and shook hands with Sinner to give him a walkover. Hence, the Bulgarian unfortunately missed out on scripting one of the biggest upsets in the tournament's history as he walked away with moist eyes, barely controlling his tears. Wimbledon 2025 Day 8 UpdatesThe crowd at Centre Court gave him a rapturous send-off as everyone sympathised with Dimitrov, who was determined to knock Sinner out. It was for the fifth successive time at Grand Slams that Dimitrov had to give a walkover due to injury.A sight we never want to Dimitrov is forced to retire while leading two sets to love. Everyone at #Wimbledon is wishing you a speedy recovery, Grigor Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 7, 2025As a result, a game which was heading towards a historic finish courtesy of Dimitrov's lion-hearted efforts against the world number one, had a tragic end, serving as a cruel reminder of the uncertainties of life.'Honestly, I don't really know what to say. Grigor is an incredible player—we all saw that today. He's been so unlucky over the past couple of years. Not only is he a great player, but also a good friend of mine. We understand each other very well off the court, too. Seeing him in this position is heartbreaking. If there were any chance for him to play the next round, he would absolutely deserve it,' said Sinner in his on-court interview.I don't take this as a win: SinnerFurthermore, the three-time Grand Slam winner said that he won't take it as a win and mentioned Dimitrov's struggles with injuries in the recent past.'But now, more than anything, I just hope he has a speedy recovery. It's incredibly unfortunate from his side. I don't take this as a win—it doesn't feel like one. This is just a really sad moment for everyone who witnessed it. In the last few Grand Slams, he's struggled a lot with injuries, and to see him dealing with that again is very tough. His reaction today showed just how much he cares about the sport. He's one of the most hardworking players on tour, and it's truly unfortunate what happened,' he Bulgarian built on the momentum and continued to hold his serve, taking full advantage of an unsettled Sinner, who looked out of sorts. Sinner had no answer to Dimitrov's service game as he scored 14 aces against the Italian. He made the Sinner drop his first set of Wimbledon this year and continued to dominate him as the Italian also had his fair share of struggles with an elbow after some medical intervention, Sinner returned to compete and earned a crucial break point towards the end of the second set. But his joy was only short-lived as Dimitrov managed to earn the break back in the very next game and sealed the second crowd was rallying behind Dimitrov as the two players were in a neck-and-neck battle in the third set. The Bulgarian was eventually betrayed by destiny, forcing him to end one of the best performances of his career due to a heart-wrenching his lucky escape, Sinner will next take on Ben Shelton in the quarterfinal on Wednesday, July 9. Shelton sealed his place in the last eight after thrashing Lorenzo Sonego.

Wimbledon 2025: Swiatek ends Tauson's run to fly into Wimbledon quarterfinals

A deluge of double faults dictated early terms before Iga Swiatek found her grasscourt wings to fly into the Wimbledon quarterfinals with a soaring 6-4 6-1 victory over an out-of-sorts Danish 23rd seed Clara Tauson on Monday. The cold and blustery wind swirling around Court One was clearly not to Swiatek's liking as she opened her account with two double faults en route to dropping her serve to love. While the former world number one immediately got the break back, her serve kept misfiring as she produced two successive double faults to drop her serve again in the third game. But from then on the Polish eighth seed barely put a foot wrong in a match that was over in 65 brutal minutes. 'The beginning was pretty shaky with the double faults but I managed to play solid. I'm not sure if Clara was feeling that well, she said she didn't sleep well and I hope she has a good recovery,' Swiatek told the crowd. 'It's never easy to keep your focus. Sometimes when you're not feeling well you let go of everything and it can give you a boost. I hope she's going to be fine. 'It's pretty amazing, this is the first time I've ever enjoyed London. Sorry guys... I mean I've always enjoyed it. I feel good on the court when I feel good off the court.' Swiatek had been prepared to face a barrage of aces from Tauson, who came into the match having served the most aces in this year's women's tournament. Her tally of 27 aces meant she was averaging an impressive nine per match during her run to the fourth round, which included a win over 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina two days ago. However, instead of adding to her count, Tauson surrendered the first set with a double fault and from then on her game fell apart as Swiatek won eight of the last nine games to reach the last eight for the second time in three years. Swiatek will face Russia's Liudmila Samsonova for a place in the semifinals.
