The incident occurred on an outdoor court during a training session on the eve of the start of this year's Grand Slam grass, according to the organizers.

The American has already been fined $ 10,000 at the All England Club for repeatedly hitting her racket on the court in the second-round win against Christina McHale in 2016.

Australian Bernard Tomic was fined a total of $ 58,500 last week for his award at Wimbledon for failing to meet the "required professional standard" in his 58-minute first-round defeat against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Italian Fabio Fognini was also sentenced to $ 3,000 for stating that a "bomb should explode" on the All England Club after his defeat in the third round against Tennys Sandgren on Saturday.

Another Australian, Nick Kyrgios, has been fined twice – $ 3,000 and $ 5,000 – at this year's championships for showing unsportsmanlike conduct in his first and second matches tower.

Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas and Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus have also been fined US $ 10,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Williams, who was also fined $ 17.00 for his remarks before the referee in the US Open final last September, lost a single set in four games.

She defeated Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2 6-2 on Monday to prepare for an American quarterfinal with Alison Riske, who thwarted world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty.

Williams, 37, is aiming for his first title at Wimbledon since 2016 and a record win for the 24th Grand Slam.

The remaining four players in half of William's draw have 31 big group appearances, but unfortunately for Serena, she has 31 players.
