Andrey Rublev<\/a> will get to keep the ranking points and prize money \u2014 minus a fine of $55,900 \u2014 from the Dubai Championships, the ATP<\/a> ruled, after he appealed the punishment of his default from the semi-finals for yelling in the face of a tennis line judge last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a post on social media, Rublev thanked the appeal committee for its decision and added that he wants the tour to consider altering the rule that led to his disqualification.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that in the future, the ATP will take a closer look at this rule and make changes to it, so that an official can't force a match outcome without having clear evidence and not letting the player have a video review,\u201d Rublev's statement reads.<\/p>\n

It ends: \u201cI promise I will learn from this and will try to be a better player and better person".<\/p>\n

The No.5-ranked Rublev, a 26-year-old from Russia, forfeited the match after his reaction to a point being awarded to his opponent, Alexander Bublik, at 6-5 in the third set on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\"Andrey<\/p>\n

When a tennis player is defaulted from a match because of on-court conduct, he relinquishes all money and rankings points earned in that event.<\/p>\n

But the ATP ruled that the \u201ccustomary penalties associated with a default … would be disproportionate in this case".<\/p>\n

\u201cThe appeal process took into consideration testimonies from the player, officials, as well as a review of all available video and audio materials,\u201d the tour said.<\/p>\n

It noted that Rublev would still be docked $55,900 for the code violation he was issued by the chair umpire for unsportsmanlike conduct.<\/p>\n

A player losing in the semi-finals in Dubai collected $242,271 and 200 rankings points.<\/p>\n

After the point in question, Rublev pointed to the baseline, walked to the line judge, leaned over and shouted.<\/p>\n

ATP supervisor Roland Herfel went on court, accompanied by a Russian speaker who said Rublev swore in Russian. Rublev said he was speaking in English and did not use profane language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
