Daniil Medvedev, a former world No. 1, has been penalized 6,000 euros (approximately $7,000) for unsportsmanlike behavior following a match at the Monte Carlo Masters where he lost to Matteo Berrettini with a score of 6-0, 6-0. The ATP Tour confirmed the fine to The Associated Press on Monday.

Currently ranked 10th in the world, Medvedev received a code violation from the chair umpire due to his actions during the early part of the second set in the match, which took place last Wednesday.

This fine is relatively minor compared to the penalties of $76,000 and $42,500 he faced for similar outbursts at the Australian Open and U.S. Open, respectively, last year.

Medvedev, who had received a bye in the first round, had already secured 45,520 euros ($50,000) in prize money from the tournament in Monte Carlo.

The 30-year-old athlete was already facing difficulties when he hit a forehand into the net, resulting in the loss of his opening service game in the second set, putting him down 2-0. In response, he smashed his racket near the baseline and subsequently threw it toward a tarp at the end of the court.

Continuing his frustration, Medvedev repeatedly struck his racket until it was damaged enough to fit into a nearby trash can, as the crowd reacted with sarcastic cheers.

Medvedev, who claimed the U.S. Open title in 2021, concluded the match in just 49 minutes.
