"Medvedev received a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct by the chair umpire for his actions early in the second set of Wednesday's match."
"The fine is small in comparison to the $76,000 and $42,500 that Medvedev was penalized with for outbursts at the Australian Open and US Open last year."
"He then slammed his racket near the baseline before he picked the racket up and threw it toward a tarp at the end of the court."
"Medvedev, who won the US Open in 2021, lost the match in 49 minutes."
Daniil Medvedev was fined 6,000 euros for unsportsmanlike conduct after a 6-0, 6-0 loss to Matteo Berrettini at the Monte Carlo Masters. The fine was issued after he smashed his racket seven times during the match. Medvedev, currently ranked 10th, had previously faced larger fines for similar outbursts at major tournaments. Despite earning 50,000 euros in prize money from the tournament, his performance was marred by frustration, culminating in a match that lasted only 49 minutes.
