Tsonga is coming off major career ending type of injury so he has a good excuseOnly got 7 games off Rafa. Deserves to be fined all of his prize money for not putting in an effort. Embarrassing. Not at a professional level at all.
You do have to wonder, if Tomic didn’t have the reputation he has, would he have gotten fined?
Why would he be fined all of it when he won 2 matches? Are you saying his wins should not count?Only got 7 games off Rafa. Deserves to be fined all of his prize money for not putting in an effort. Embarrassing. Not at a professional level at all.

Tomic was robbed.
Even if you believe there was some punishment deserved - taking away the entire prize money is egregious and only proves the extreme power imbalance between players and organizers.
It's a bit too good to be true type of convenient that an offense is valude exacty the sum total of a prize money.
If Tsonga is fined so should Pouille for his nonchalant attitude against Federer.
Anybody who saw both matches know that Tsonga did not ever get engaged and Pouille did. Pouille was still fighting in the end. Neither one played good overall, but Pouille had his moments. One was an easy match and one was essentially a walk-over.

I guess he was just trolling in disagree with What happened to TomicYou know this forum has a rep for being full of nutcases and tinfoil hat types? I wonder how it could possibly get that rep with the obsessed fan boys and girls throwing insults at each other, because they love one member of the big three and hate all the others. Tennis doesn't stop with three players for f**k sake.
As for Tsonga being fined, don't be f**king ridiculous. He didn't tank the match, time and injuries have simply caught up with him. He simply doesn't have the tools to compete with the very best anymore.

Fining a player for effort is purely opinion based. You cannot make the rule on paper so you cannot enforce it.
I like tsonga but if tomic got fined, he should too. Along with everyone else who loses an uncompetitive match.
Terrible rule but a terrible organization.
That's one too many words for saying "Selective punishment by a corrupt organization".
Did serena get fined when she showed up drunk to play doubles?

Then youd have to fine Rafa retrospectively for his AO 2008 semi final performance.

Honestly, Tsonga has been bad for years. Unbearable to watch. He knows he has zero chance against the top guys....................just collecting a paycheck. Sad.
Peak Tomic is 2 times the player Tsonga ever has beenTsonga got stomped by one of he greatest players ever. Tomic is just garbage
LOOOOL !!!!Nadal is a year younger yet he looked like a bloody junior with balding hair.
Tomic peaked in 2011. He's well past his prime now, he wouldn't even crack 17sec for the 100m dash, so he's got an excuse.Peak Tomic is 2 times the player Tsonga ever has been
