American tennis star, Serena Williams, has been fined $10,000 for damaging one of the Wimbledon courts with her racket.
The incident occurred during a practice session before this year’s tournament at the All England Club.
Also fined is Italy’s Fabio Fognini, who will have to shell out $3,000 after he said that Wimbledon should be bombed.
The 32-year-old made the outburst in his native tongue during his third-round loss to Tennys Sandgren on Saturday.
Williams, 37, is playing just her sixth tournament of 2019 but beat Carla Suarez Navarro on Monday to reach the quarter-final.
She faces compatriot Alison Riske in the last eight who upset world number one Ashleigh Barty.
Williams and partner Andy Murray are in the second round of the mixed doubles and will face Fabrice Martin and Raquel Atawo on Tuesday.
