“What did I do? Just tell me what I did, real quick,” Mike Bryan badgered an umpire after being called out for unsportsmanlike conduct.
American doubles star Mike Bryan was fined $10,000 on Sunday after using his tennis racket to make a shooting motion at a line judge at the U.S. Open.
Bryan’s gesture occurred in a second-round match that began late Saturday as police, medical personnel, victims and their families were dealing with the fallout of a mass shooting in Odessa, Texas, that killed at least seven people.“What did I do? Just tell me what I did, real quick,” an irritated Bryan badgered Alves.
The penalty is the highest fine to date for the men’s event at this year’s U.S. Open, according to ESPN.Mike Bryan pic.twitter.com/vPwOiZfVqfBryan issued a statement Sunday in which he apologized for the gesture. Bryan — a six-time U.S. Open men’s doubles champion — and his twin brother, Bob, won the match involving the contested call.
