Why was Mirra Andreeva fined?

Mirra Andreeva is currently the most talented young tennis star on the WTA tour. At the age of 16 and 263 days, she defeated top-10 player Ons Jabeur 6-0, 6-2 at the 2024 Australian and became the youngest player in the Open Era to hand a bagel to a top-10 player at a Grand Slam. Her best grand slam result came at the 2024 French Open, where she reached the semifinal.

Andreeva turned professional in 2022 and rose to fame after her performances at the 2023 Madrid Masters. She became the third youngest women's player to win a WTA 1000 match, following CiCi Bellis and Coco Gauff.

Mirra Andreeva unethical Conduct

Mirra Andreeva was fined for unethical and unsporting behavior during her fourth-round match at the 2023 Wimbledon. She was fined a total of $8,000 for two incidents during her match against Madison Keys.

After losing the second set tie-break, Andreeva was given her first warning for throwing her racket. After losing a crucial point in the final set, it appeared that she threw her racket again, leading to a point penalty. She argued with the chair umpire Louise Azemar and told her that the point penalty was the wrong decision, and that the racket slipped out of her hand. In her post-match conference, Andreeva admitted that she deserved the first warning, but not the second one.
