Britain's Heather Watson has ended up being fined nearly a third of her Wimbledon singles prize money for smashing her racket into the grass.

She will have to pay around £9,000 for the incident which happened during her first round defeat to Annika Beck.

It's the second largest single fine in Wimbledon history for such an offence.

Serbian Viktor Troicki has been fined less - about £7,000 - for his remarkable outburst  at an umpire on court earlier in the week.
