The official fines list for the opening half of Wimbledon has been published, and the All England Club has imposed 34,000 in sanctions on 11 players. All of the penalties relate to code violations for audible obscenity, racket abuse or unsportsmanlike conduct, and some date back to the qualifying tournament.

Those penalised include Damir Dzumhur, the Bosnian who launched into a tirade at the umpire during his first-round encounter with Britain's Arthur Fery, and temperamental Frenchman Corentin Moutet, who destroyed his racket over his knee three times as he fell to Marcos Giron in round one.

Below is the full list of fines handed out to players at the Championship, with 11 in total issued during the first week of action at SW19.

The complete Wimbledon 2026 penalties list so far

Gilles Arnaud Bailly: penalised 1.8k ($2.5k) for audible obscenity on June 22 (qualifying).

Henrique Rocha: penalised 1.8k ($2.5k) for racket abuse on June 22 (qualifying).

Mia Pohankova: penalised 1.8k ($2.5k) for audible obscenity on June 23 (qualifying).

Pol Martin Tiffon: penalised 1.8k ($2.5k) for audible obscenity on June 26 (qualifying).

Colton Smith: penalised 1.8k ($2.5k) for audible obscenity on June 24 (qualifying).

Noma Noha Akugue: penalised 1.8k ($2.5k) for audible obscenity on June 24 (qualifying).

Hamad Medjedovic: penalised 3.7k ($5k) for audible obscenity on June 29 (main draw).

Damir Dzumhur: penalised 5.6k ($7.5k) for unsportsmanlike conduct on June 30 (main draw).

Thanasi Kokkkinakis: penalised 5.6k ($7.5k) for unsportsmanlike conduct on June 30 (main draw).

Corentin Moutet: penalised 5.6k ($7.5k) for racket abuse on June 30 (main draw).

Pierre-Hugues Herbert: fined 2.6k ($3.5k) for racket abuse on June 1 (main draw doubles).

Dzumhur received his fine following an incident during his encounter with British wildcard Fery last week. At 2-1 in the second set, Dzumhur was convinced one of his serves was a let and played the ball into the net.

However, the umpire made no let call, and Fery was given the point, providing him with a break opportunity.

The world No 105 immediately rushed to the net, challenging the chair official. He also insisted Fery believed it was a let and appeared to halt the point, but the Brit refused to stop.

Dzumhur then asked Fery to "look in my eyes" and verify his account of events. The Bosnian subsequently lost in four sets, failing to recover from the mid-match breakdown.

Venus Williams, 46, does not appear on the fines list despite refusing a post-match press conference after losing her opening mixed doubles match alongside Kevin Krawietz. The five-time former singles champion here was required to speak to the media after the match, regardless of the result.

It is understood that she refused to attend and did not provide any quotes via the WTA or the club. Declining to participate in post-match media commitments carries a fine of up to 37,000, but this is at the discretion of the Grand Slam supervisors.

Venus' younger sister, Serena, escaped a fine after skipping her post-match press duties following her first-round singles defeat by Maya Joint last Tuesday, after it emerged she had tweaked her knee during the first set. She also provided a quote to the media.

Players are permitted to forgo press commitments due to injury or illness, and are therefore not subject to any penalty.
