Watch: Tomic, Medvedev Fined



Bernard Tomic's boredom will come at a cost.

The 24-year-old Australian has been hit with a $15,000 fine by the International Tennis Federation after admitting he was "bored" during his Wimbledon straight-sets loss to Mischa Zverev in the opening round.

"I don't know why, but, you know, I felt a little bit bored out there," Tomic told the media afterward. "You know, to be completely honest with you. So I tried at the end and stuff, he managed to win that set 6-3 or 6-4, but it was too late.”

Head announced it has dropped Tomic from its player roster saying the Aussie's "opinions in no way reflect our own attitude for tennis, our passion, professionalism and respect for the game."

"We were extremely disappointed with the statements made at Wimbledon by one of our sponsored athletes, Bernard Tomic," Head said in a statement. "His opinions in no way reflect our own attitude for tennis, our passion, professionalism and respect for the game. Therefore, we have decided to discontinue our collaboration with Bernard Tomic."

Tomic also conceded he took a medical timeout during the match despite the fact he did not have an injury.

Daniil Medvedev tossed coins at the chair umpire's feet.

Now, he'll pay for it.

The ITF hit Medvedev with three fines for a total of $14,500 following his bizarre coin-throwing behavior at chair umpire Mariana Alves. Medvedev, who later called his action, "a stupid thing to do" apologized. 



"I thought that it was a bit not in my favor," he said. "But right now I can just say that it happens everywhere, in every sport. Like there are referees, and they can make some mistakes. But me as a tennis player, I do some mistakes, too. One of them was, for example, after the match. I just have to apologize."
