Serena Williams issued a fine of $17,000 for US Open Code violations

 Serena Williams has been fined $17,000 for her three code violations picked up during Saturday’s U.S. Open final.

Williams came undone in the second set of her 6-2, 6-4 loss to Naomi Osaka, receiving a warning for on-court coaching after Patrick Mouratoglou was caught giving her hand signals.

She was later given her second violation after smashing her racquet, costing her a point. Williams proceeded to call chair umpire Carlos Ramos a “thief” which was ruled her third violation, costing her a game.

The money will come out of Serena William’s prize money of $1.85 million as the runner-up.
