Tennis legend Serena Williams has been fined $10,000 for damaging a Wimbledon court with her racket during a practice session before the tournament began. Serena is set to face Alison Riske today, after the latter emerged victorious from a battle with world number one Ashleigh Barty. This aura of unpredictability permeates the women's tennis, while over at the men's, it seems that the champion will emerge from the ranks of the three giants: Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer.

Serena wasn't the only player to receive a fine this Wimbledon either. Renowned hothead and world number 10 Fabio Fognini was fined $3000 for comments that he made. Apparently upset that he had been scheduled on the small court 14, he said in his native language, "Damn English. I wish a bomb would explode on this club. A bomb should explode here." Considering that, during World War II, the surrounding area had more than 1000 bombs dropped on it, including a bomb that damaged the Centre Court roof, it's no doubt that Fabio was fined for his comments.

Fognini is not unaccustomed to landing himself in hot water because of his actions. At Wimbledon 2014, he was fined a then-record $27,500 for a series of offences during the first round match. Surprising no-one, Fognini caused another stir three years later. After throwing misogynistic abuse at a woman umpire, Fognini received a suspended ban of 2 Grand Slam tournaments and a fine of almost $90,000, half of which was suspended. Adding further insult to self-induced injury, Fognini also took a medical timeout, as he had a bloodied hand from punching his racket to the court in frustration.

Australian Nick Kyrgios found it difficult to contain himself. He was fined $3000 in the first round, and $5000 in the second round (in which he lost to Rafael Nadal). Both of these fines were because of unsportsmanlike conduct.

Now, as an ode to "unsportsmanlike conduct", see the Youtube video below for a compilation of players who can't seem to stop themselves from taking their frustration out on their rackets.
