Sport: Serena fined $10000 for damaging Wimbledon court

Serena Williams has been fined 10,000 dollars 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.

The seven-time Wimbledon champion, 37, is playing just her sixth tournament of 2019 but beat Carla Suarez Navarro on Monday to reach the quarter-finals.

Italy’s Fabio Fognini has been fined 3,000 dollars 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.
