World number two Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev has managed to make it to the final of the Australian Open for the second time in a row. He is now just one win away from the first Australian Open title. He is scheduled to face Spanish legend Rafael Nadal in the title clash on Sunday. But a day before this match, there has also been a big investigation by Tennis Australia against 25-year-old Medvedev. It has been overwhelming to get him entangled with the umpire in the semi-finals.
The US Open champion will also be fined 12,000 US dollars (about nine lakh rupees). Medvedev was seen getting furious during the semi-finals of the Australian Open. Medvedev has hurled abuses at chair umpire Jam Campistal in the midst of a 4-set win. Tennis Australia has already imposed a fine of lakhs of rupees on him in two separate cases.
Canada's Denis Shapovalov, who lost in the quarterfinals to Nadal, has also been fined a total of US$8,000 for two different offences. At the same time, Medvedev's fine is going to be the biggest fine ever in the tournament. Apart from Medvedev, his semi-final rival Stefanos Tsitsipas has also been investigated. Tsitsipas has been fined US$ 13,000 in two cases for coaching between the matches.
