Fined for alleged on-court coaching.

Rafael Nadal was given a code violation by French umpire Cedric Mourier for allegedly receiving advice from his coach, uncle Toni Nadal, during his five-set win over Philipp Petzschener on Saturday.
Both Nadals said Toni had only been giving the player encouragement.
On Monday the fine was announced at $2,000 (a mere chump change for Nadal, who at the French open sported a watch worth an astounding $525,000)
Rafa on the fine:
