Just seen Tomic v Tsonga highlights - outrageous, that was an embarrassment. The guy should have his money with held for not trying and be suspended from playing. that was unprofessional and this is the biggest event in the world. So wrong.


Your wish is the Referee's command, Jon - from the Beeb:

10:12

BREAKING - Tomic fined £45,000

Well, there's drama from the off on day four... Wimbledon officials have just released a statement saying Bernard Tomic will be fined his entire first round prize money of £45,000 for his perceived lack of effort in a defeat by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga that lasted just 58 minutes.

Statement from Wimbledon: "The Grand Slam Rule Book regarding First Round Performance states the following: 'All players are expected to perform to a professional standard in every Grand Slam match. With respect to First Round Performance, if in the opinion of the referee the player did not perform to the required professional standard, the referee may determine that the player be subject to a fine of up to first round prize money.'

"It is the opinion of the referee that the performance of Bernard Tomic in his first round match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga did not meet the required professional standards, and therefore he has been fined the maximum amount of £45,000 which will be deducted from prize money."

Tomic does have the right to appeal against his fine.

L64:  Daniel Evans WR 61 defeated (18) Nikoloz Basilashvili (GEO) WR 16 by 6-3 6-2 7-6(2)   ban-woohoo.gif

A Brit finally downs a seed rather than the other way round!  Quite a battle in the ninth game of the third set, but he couldn't quite put it away.  Lost count of the number of match points he held before he finally converted one!  Cilic or Sousa in the last 32...

Loving the emotion at the end. It clearly means so much to him. That was a complete master class of grass court tennis.

Fantastic performance from Dan. Very impressed by how he stayed in it that third set and great TB (helped by his opponents misses).

Dan up to 942 pts and 52 in the rankings, just 8 pts and 1 place behind Cam now!

Interesting to see that 29-year-old Steve Johnson got the better of 20-year-old Álex de Miñaur (25) in five sets in three hours & 21 minutes.
