Medvedev Laments Career Fines at Shanghai as ATP Rescinds Beijing Violation

He says the penalties reflect his passion rather than profit.

Overview

  • Daniil Medvedev said he would "probably cry" if shown the total he has paid in fines and described his outbursts as emotional rather than financial choices.
  • At the US Open he was fined $42,500 for unsportsmanlike conduct and racket abuse following a tense five-set loss to Benjamin Bonzi.
  • Earlier in 2025 the Australian Open fined him about $76,000, including $10,000 for breaking a net camera and $66,000 for code violations.
  • ATP Officiating reviewed a "best efforts" code violation from Beijing and ruled it was issued in error, confirming no fine after he cramped and withdrew from the semifinal.
  • Following those events he is competing at the Shanghai Masters, with an opening match scheduled against Dalibor Svrcina.
