Medvedev heavily fined for Australian Open behaviour

Daniil Medvedev has been fined over 60,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct following his behaviour at the Australian Open.

The Russian fifth seed destroyed a net camera by furiously smashing his racquet into it during a five-set first-round win against world number 418 Kasidit Samrej.

He then incurred a point penalty during his second-round defeat by American teenager Learner Tien after throwing his racquet, before failing to attend a mandatory post-match news conference.

Medvedev collected 200,000 Australian dollars (102,000) for reaching the second round at Melbourne Park.

However, he will be required to pay fines totalling 76,000 US dollars (62,400) after overstepping the mark with his behaviour.

The 28-year-old reached the final in Australia last year but the surprising defeat this time by Tien, 19, marked his earliest exit at a Grand Slam since a first-round loss at the 2023 French Open.

Britain's Jack Draper has also been fined 4,000 US dollars (3,287) for smashing his racquet during his third-round win over Aleksandar Vukic.
