Shap was fined 7000 when he was making what? Just as he was turning pro and in his career had earned less than 35k.
" "Shapovalov could have been fined up to a maximum of $12,000 on site by referee Brian Earley but the unintentional nature of the offence and his remorse will have been taken into account." - ITF
The fine is less than that handed to
David Nalbandian following the Queen's Club final in 2012, when the Argentinian was defaulted after kicking an advertising hoarding into the leg of a line judge and penalised $10,000 -- along with his prize money and ranking points.
It will undoubtedly be a big lesson for Shapovalov, the reigning Wimbledon junior champion and one of the brightest young talents in the game.
He immediately apologised to Gabas and then sat with his head in his hands while the umpire composed himself sufficiently to announce the end of the match, sending Britain through to an away quarter-final against France in April.
An emotional Shapovalov said: ''I feel incredibly ashamed and embarrassed and I just feel awful for letting my team down, for letting my country down, for acting in a way that I would never want to act.
''I can promise that's the last time I will do anything like that. I'm going to learn from this and try to move past it.''"
Serena was fined 17000 total when she made 1.85 million from the match not including endorsements. Technically 0.9% of her payout for that day alone.
