MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Daniil Medvedev used his racket to smash a tiny camera attached to the net at the Australian Open while he was trailing someone ranked 418th before eventually avoiding a monumental upset and winning 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the first round at Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday.

World No. 5 Daniil Medvedev has been fined more than US$76,000 for two separate incidents which occured during his first and second-round matches at the Australian Open.

Daniil Medvedev earned A$200,000 (roughly £102,000) for reaching the second round of the 2025 Australian Open, but most of that money will go back to organisers as he has been hit with a staggering fine for a couple of offences during his two matches.

Daniil Medvedev has copped a pair of hefty fines following his surprise Australian Open exit. The world No. 5 was bundled out in the second round by qualifier Learner Tien – arguably the biggest upset of the tournament thus far.
