But players at this year’s British Grand Slam have racked up some of the largest fines since tournament records began — and there’s still about a week left to play. This week, Australia’s Bernard Tomic was fined $15,000, the second highest recorded financial penalty in Wimbledon’s history, for “unsportsmanlike conduct,” [according to](http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-07-06/bernard-tomic-fined-$20000-after-wimbledon-zverev-loss/8685854) Australia’s ABC news. (The largest, $20,000 was doled out to Italy’s Fabio Fognini in 2014.) Tomic’s fine was imposed after the 59th seed — who limped off court at the end of his straight sets loss to Germany’s Mischa Zverev — admitted he had faked a back injury. He also said that he’d been bored during the match. “You know I wasn’t mentally and physically there, with my mental state to perform and I don’t know why,” he told reporters soon after. “But I felt a little bit bored out there to be completely honest with you.” Russian Daniil Medvedev has also been hit with three separate fines, totaling $14,500 _The Guardian_ [reports](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/jul/05/daniil-medvedev-wallet-umpire-bemelmans-wimbledon). He racked up two of them for insulting Portuguese empire Mariana Alvez, and a third for tossing coins at her chair. Petulant outbursts are not always detrimental to tennis players’ legacies. Seven-time Grand Slam champion John McEnroe racked up more than ten fines over the course of his storied career. Outbursts included calling a Czech opponent a “communist bastard” and a notorious tantrum in which he screamed “You cannot be serious” at a Wimbledon umpire he also called “the pits of the world.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4848534/wimbledon-fines-tomic-medvedev/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4848534/wimbledon-fines-tomic-medvedev/"},"headline":"This Year's Wimbledon Has Served Up Some of the Largest Fines in the Tournament's History","datePublished":"2017-07-07T04:12:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:45:11.548Z","description":"There's still a week left of the tournament to go","url":"https://time.com/4848534/wimbledon-fines-tomic-medvedev/","keywords":["tennis","Newsfeed","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfbc02a889b4c871b/6988d4cc22fb858a88e21e11/gettyimages-807631346.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Joseph Hincks","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/joseph-hincks/"}],"articleSection":"Sports","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfbc02a889b4c871b/6988d4cc22fb858a88e21e11/gettyimages-807631346.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Day Two: The Championships - Wimbledon 2017","caption":"Day Two: The Championships - Wimbledon 2017","creditText":"David Ramos—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/sports/","name":"Sports"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/tennis/","name":"tennis"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4848534/wimbledon-fines-tomic-medvedev/","name":"This Year's Wimbledon Has Served Up Some of the Largest Fines in the Tournament's History"}}]}] ```
