Swedish tennis player mikael ymer was fined €37,370 after being disqualified for smashing his racket against the referee’s chair during a tournament a week before competing at Roland Garros.
An ATP Tour spokesperson said that Ymer lost 9,980 euros and the 20 ranking points he gained by reaching the second round of the ATP in Lyon. Plus a fine of 27,490 euros.
The spokesperson said the ATP Fines Committee will conduct a review of what happened to determine if additional penalties are warranted.
In the fight against the French Arthur Philsthen champion in Lyon, mikael ymer complained about a call on a ball he saw. As the players went to their stations to change ends, the Swede hit the base of the referee’s box twice with his racket, damaging his equipment and damaging the seat. That led to disqualification.
At Roland Garros, after losing to Lorenzo Musetti For 7 -5, 6-2, 6-4, Ymer explained the reason for his reaction: “With all due respect, I think it’s pretty clear from the video what caused it and why I reacted that way. without justifying it and all . , of course,” answered Ymer. “But that I sit here and explain? I think it’s pretty clear what led me to that. I think that’s pretty clear on the video,” he insisted.
