Daniil Medvedev has been fined more than £60,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct following his behaviour at the Australian Open.
The Russian fifth seed destroyed a net camera by furiously smashing his racquet into it during a five-set first-round win against world number 418 Kasidit Samrej.
He then incurred a point penalty during his second-round defeat by American teenager Learner Tien after throwing his racquet, before failing to attend a mandatory post-match news conference.
Medvedev collected 200,000 Australian dollars (£102,000) for reaching the second round at Melbourne Park.
However, he will be required to pay fines totalling 76,000 US dollars (£62,400).
The 28-year-old reached the final in Australia last year but the surprising defeat this time by Tien, 19, marked his earliest exit at a Grand Slam since a first-round loss at the 2023 French Open.
Britain's Jack Draper has been fined 4,000 US dollars (£3,287) for smashing his racquet during his third-round win over Aleksandar Vukic.
