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

Time of India07-07-2025
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.'

Former chief justice of India Chandrachud says Viceroy report on Vedanta Group lacks credibility

According to the filing, the former CJI has opined that 'Viceroy has a track record of taking short positions in listed companies and then publishing misleading reports to profit unlawfully from the resulting market impact'. Justice Chandrachud's remark came after Vedanta sought an independent legal opinion from the former chief justice in relation to the allegations made in the Viceroy Research report, the company said in a regulatory filing on Friday. New Delhi, Jul 19 (PTI) US short seller Viceroy Research's report on the Vedanta Group 'lacks credibility' and the firm would be well-placed to seek legal remedies, former chief justice of India D Y Chandrachud has said. The Viceroy Research's report on the company contains serious allegations, causing harm to the Vedanta Group's business and reputation, Justice Chandrachud said. 'The report contains serious imputations such as 'ponzi scheme' and 'parasite', which have caused harm to querist's (Vedanta's) business and reputation,' he said, adding, 'in these circumstances, the querist would be well-placed to seek legal remedies.' The US short seller in its July 9 report had called billionaire Anil Agarwal-led British firm Vedanta Resources a 'parasite' that is 'systematically draining' its Indian unit, an allegation which the group called as 'selective misinformation and baseless' aimed at discrediting the firm. Viceroy Research took a short position against the debt of Vedanta Resources, the UK-based parent of Indian miner Vedanta Ltd, alleging that the group 'is a house of cards built on a foundation of unsustainable debt, looted assets, and accounting fiction'. Vedanta had responded, saying the report was 'a malicious combination of selective misinformation and baseless allegations' and that its authors issued it without contacting the group.

Humpy eventually drew the game but it was enough for her to move into the quarterfinals. Young International Master Divya Deshmukh produced one of the standout performances of the tournament. Facing China's top seed Zhu Jiner, Divya stunned the favourite with a confident and fearless display, securing her spot in the last eight. Grandmaster Harika Dronavalli also had to dig deep. In a tight match against Kateryna Lagno, Harika showed immense maturity and fighting spirit. The scores stayed close, but Harika kept her composure and edged out the Russian player by 2.5-3.5. Live Events Grandmaster R Vaishali's journey to the quarters was the most dramatic of the lot. Up against the giant-killer of the tournament, Vaishali played a marathon match that stretched across eight games, including grueling tiebreaks. She eventually emerged victorious with a 4.5-3.5 scoreline in what was one of the longest battles of the round. With the quarterfinals now set to begin on July 19, Indian fans have plenty to cheer for. An all-Indian clash awaits as Divya Deshmukh takes on Harika Dronavalli, ensuring that at least one Indian will progress to the semifinals. Meanwhile, Koneru Humpy will be up against China's Song Yuxin, and Vaishali Rameshbabu will face another Chinese challenger, Tan Zhongyi. Another matchup features Georgia's Nana Dzagnidze against Lei Tingjie of China. This unprecedented achievement of having four Indians in the quarterfinals not only marks a golden chapter in Indian chess but also reflects the depth, talent, and resilience that the country's women players continue to showcase on the world stage. Last year, the Indian women's chess team of Harika Dronavalli, R Vaishali, Divya Deshmukh, Vantika Agarwal, and Tania Sachdev won gold after beating Azerbaijan 3.5-0.5. Harika Dronavalli, Divya Deshmukh, and Vantika Agrawal won their respective matches in the final round. While, R Vaishali drew her match against Ulviyya Fataliyeva. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
