Novak Djokovic to Pay $8000 for Breaking Racket in Wimbledon Final

In the Wimbledon final, Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic has been fined $8000 for unsportsmanlike conduct, as reported by РИА Новости, citing journalist Mike Dixon's tweet.

Yesterday, the world's number one racket, Spanish player Carlos Alcaraz, defeated Djokovic with a score of 1:6, 7:6 (8:6), 6:1, 3:6, 6:4. During the fifth set of the final match, the Serbian tennis player's nerves got the better of him, leading to him breaking his racket.

Djokovic earned $1.49 million at Wimbledon. Alcaraz interrupted Djokovic's winning streak at Wimbledon, with the Serbian athlete having previously won four consecutive matches before this loss. The Spanish player maintains his lead in the updated rankings of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), which he would have lost had he been defeated.
