Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas both get fines after Australian Open semifinal

Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas played a very energetic Australian Open semifinal and both received fines after the match.

Australian Open finalist Daniil Medvedev was fined for an outburst against the umpire in Friday's high-octane semifinal win over Stefanos Tsitsipas, who was himself penalised for illegal coaching. In total A$69,000 in fines have been handed out for 24 code violations in the men's events - compared with just A$9,500 against five players in the women's competitions.

Medvedev, who ranted at length at umpire Jaume Campistol after dropping serve late in the second set, was fined a combined A$12,000 (about $8,400) for two code violations, one for an audible obscenity and the other for unsportsmanlike conduct. The Greek, who received a warning for coaching during his four-set defeat, was fined A$5,000 for the offence and a further A$8,000 for two earlier similar offences.

Temperamental Australian Nick Kyrgios was fined A$10,000 for three offences. The first two stemmed from his loss to Medvedev in the second round, and the third was for racquet abuse during his doubles semi-final with Thanasi Kokkinakis. Oceane Dodin is the only main draw woman to receive a penalty, a A$3,000 fine incurred during her opening-round loss.
