Tennis player Hugo Gaston tried to interrupt a point – by sneaking a new ball onto the court. Now the Frenchman is being punished after the cheating attempt.
He will be fined the equivalent of SEK 1.6 million.. Bizarre scenes unfolded when Gaston faced Borna Coric at the Madrid Open in late April. The incident has now been reviewed by the ATP Tour. On Monday, it was announced that Gaston will be punished with a juicy fine. That's more than the 22-year-old, ranked 108 in the world, has recorded in prize money this season.
