Swedish tennis player Mikael Ymer was docked a total of 37,370 euros (about $40,000) after being disqualified for smashing his racket against the umpire’s chair at a tournament the week before he competed at the French Open.<\/p>\n

An ATP Tour spokesman said Ymer forfeited the 9,980 euros (about $10,500) in prize money and 20 rankings he earned for reaching the second round of the Lyon Open. Ymer also was handed an on-site fine of 27,490 euros (about $29,000).<\/p>\n

The spokesman said the ATP Fines Committee will conduct a review of what happened to determine whether any additional penalties are warranted.<\/p>\n

The 56th-ranked Ymer, who is 24 and owns a victory over current No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, was defaulted in Lyon for an outburst late in the first set against French teenager Arthur Fils last week.<\/p>\n

Ymer was upset that the chair umpire would not check a ball mark after a shot by Fils landed near a line. As the players went to the sideline for the ensuing changeover, Ymer smacked the base of the umpire’s stand with his racket twice \u2014 destroying his equipment and damaging the chair.<\/p>\n

That led to Ymer’s disqualification, making Fils the winner of the match.<\/p>\n

After his 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 loss to 17th-seeded Lorenzo Musetti in the first round at Roland Garros on Sunday, Ymer was asked whether he wanted to explain why he reacted the way he did in Lyon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all due respect, I think it’s pretty clear from the video what caused it and why I reacted the way I reacted. Not justifying it at all, of course,\u201d Ymer replied.<\/p>\n
