French tennis<\/a> player Hugo Gaston was fined about $233,000 by the ATP Tour<\/a> \u2014 more than he\u2019s collected in prizemoney so far in 2023 \u2014 for pulling a ball out of his pocket and throwing it on the court during a point in an attempt to get a do-over, his fourth unsportsmanlike conduct violation this season.<\/p>\n

The tour announced its ruling saying that Gaston\u2019s appeal of the punishment got it reduced by half, to about $116,000, as long as he meets certain conditions, including no additional violations during a probationary period of a year.<\/p>\n

The ATP said unsportsmanlike conduct fines \u201cincrease by 100 per cent" with each consecutive violation in the same season.<\/p>\n

Gaston has made a little more than $180,000 in prizemoney this year while going 2-5 on tour. He is a 22-year-old left-hander who has been ranked as high as 58th and is currently 108th.<\/p>\n

The fine was prompted by Gaston\u2019s attempt to get the chair umpire to call off a point and replay it during his 6-3, 6-3 loss to Borna Coric in the second round of the Madrid Open on April 28.<\/p>\n

Last week, the French Tennis Federation awarded Gaston a wildcard entry into Roland-Garros.<\/p>\n

The best grand slam showing of his career came at Roland-Garros in 2020, when he reached the fourth round. He made it to the third round in Paris a year ago.<\/p>\n
