Wimbledon 2023 runner-up Novak Djokovic and Mirra Andreeva both received the same amount of fine for their racquet outbursts during the tournament. Djokovic was fined $8,000 for smashing his racket against the net post during his loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon men's singles final on Sunday (July 16). He became enraged after failing to break Alcaraz and subsequently losing his own serve in the fifth set of the match.The Serb had previously gotten a warning for a time violation in the match. He was given a code violation by the umpire Tim Murphy immediately after his racket smash.Meanwhile, Mirra Andreeva has been fined $8,000 following her fourth-round defeat against Madison Keys in the Round of 16 at Wimbledon. She was first given a code violation warning for unsportsmanlike conduct when, after failing to win the second set, she threw her racket in anger.The Russian then received an automatic point penalty from the umpire in the third set. She was adjudged to have thrown her racket again when her opponent was close to victory.Many tennis fans were unhappy with the outcome of the two controversial situations, and they took to Twitter to express their feelings. One user thought Mirra Andreeva's fine was ridiculous, whereas Novak Djokovic's fine was appropriate because his action was deliberate."Mirra’s fine is utterly ridiculous. It’s clear to see there was no intent with what she did. Novak’s was deliberate and the fine is correct based on the rules. However, 8k is no deterrent to a man who makes 10’s of millions a year. That rule definitely needs changing," the user wrote._@DabOf0ppo@TheTennisTalker Mirra’s fine is utterly ridiculous. It’s clear to see there was no intent with what she did.

They claimed that while the Russian is young enough to learn her lesson, the Serb is well past that age and that his punishment should have been a suspension."Mira is young enough to learn the lesson if the penalty is pitched right. Djokovic is well past that point and can pay any fine without even noticing. Suspended suspension penalty would have been better," the user tweeted.Steve R@str59@TheTennisTalker Mira is young enough to learn the lesson if the penalty is pitched right.

The first was when the clock reached zero before he hit his serve, and the second was when he smashed his racket.When asked about the incidents in a post-match press conference, the 23-time Grand Slam winner said:"There's no much to talk about that. Second one was frustration. I had break points in the second game. Yeah, just tough, tough couple of points. He played amazing to break my serve, which was enough to win the fifth.""The first one was the time violation, so yeah. Not a great moment again, but you just kind of have to accept it. It was a frustration in the moment," he added.The defeat prevented Djokovic from equaling Margaret Court's record for the most Grand Slam singles titles (24) and Roger Federer's record of eight Wimbledon titles.
