    "editor1": "<p><strong>Grand Slam:<\/strong>&nbsp;The 23-time Grand Slam winner, Novak Djokovic was hit with a hefty fine for smashing his racquet against the net post during the Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The incident happened in the fifth set of his defeat to the 20-year-old Spaniard on Sunday when Djokovic failed to break Alcaraz&#39;s serve and subsequently lost his own service game and expressed his frustration by forcefully smashing his racket against one of the wooden net poles, leaving the dent on it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Umpire Fergus Murphy promptly issued Djokovic a warning for a code violation due to his racket-smashing transgression.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a result of his actions, the fine of &pound;6,117 was issued to the seven-time Wimbledon champion and the money will be deducted from his runner-up cheque of 1.175 million pounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>World number one Alcaraz took full advantage of the break to seal a 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 6-4 victory after four hours and 42 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 20-year-old&#39;s victory at the All England Club denied Djokovic a 24th grand slam title and also ended his unbeaten run at the Centre Court.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In Sunday&#39;s final, Djokovic was twice handed a code violation. The first code violation came after the shot clock ran down to zero before Djokovic hit his service. The second came after he fell down by a break in the fifth set and violently destroyed his racket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After the match, when Djokovic was asked about his two code violations he said &quot;there&#39;s no much to talk about that. Second one (his second code violation) was frustration. I had break points in the second game. Yeah, just tough, tough couple of points.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/major-league-cricket-2023-schedule-teams-squads\">Major League Cricket 2023 Schedule, Teams  And Squads<\/a><\/p><p>The Serbian great was infamously disqualified from the 2020 US Open when he hit a ball out of frustration during his round of 16 clash, with the ball accidentally hitting a line judge in the throat.<\/p>\r\n",
