Djokovic's fine for racquet smashing was 6,100 pounds.

Meanwhile, Mark Philippoussis has been fined $10,000 USD and given a 4-month suspended ban for doing a voiceover for a gaming company. This breaches betting rules for coaches.

I remember once McEnroe played the next point with a broken racquet just to avoid the penalty! After the point he replaced the racquet. Can't remember if he won or lost the point.
I can't find anything about that. The tour rules book just lists: first offence -- warning, second -- point deduction.

Wonder if there was an old rule...
