American professional tennis player Serena Williams has been fined with the sum of $10,000 for damaging one of the Wimbledon courts with her racket.
According to a report on CNN, the organizers of the 2019 grass grand slam revealed that the Serena incident occurred during a training session.
This is not the first time that Serena Williams will be fined as she was also hit with $10,000 last three years for repeatedly smashing her racket on the court.
The incident occurred during a second-round victory over Christina McHale in which the American failed to control her emotion.
Williams is targeting a first Wimbledon title since 2016 and a record-equaling 24th grand slam victory.
She beat Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2 6-2 on Monday, July 8, to set up an all-American quarterfinal with Alison Riske and also won on Tuesday, July 9.
