Wimbledon Fines 12 Players Including Champion Patten for Verbal Abuse

At Wimbledon 2025, 12 players have been fined for various infractions, with reigning men's doubles champion Henry Patten receiving the largest fine of over £9,000 for verbally abusing officials who tried to curtail his practice session. Patten, who won last year alongside Harri Heliovaara, has appealed the fine citing procedural failures and an incomplete investigation, expressing disappointment that the fine was publicized during the appeal process. Other notable fines include Adrian Mannarino's £4,400 penalty for unsporting behavior and Russian Elena Pridankina's £3,600 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct. Additional fines were levied on players for audible obscenities, racket abuse, and unsportsmanlike behavior, with amounts ranging from £1,500 to £2,900. Former Wimbledon player Nick Kyrgios, absent from the current tournament, has revealed he has paid nearly 800,000 Australian dollars in fines over his career, highlighting the financial impact of Wimbledon penalties. The All England Club has refrained from commenting on ongoing appeals, leaving the matter in the hands of Grand Slam supervisors.
