WIMBLEDON, England (AP)—Rafael Nadal has been fined $2,000 by Wimbledon officials for receiving coaching during his third-round match.
Nadal was given a code violation by French umpire Cedric Mourier for allegedly receiving advice from his coach, uncle Toni Nadal, during his five-set win over Philipp Petzschner on Saturday.
Both Nadals said Toni had only been giving the player encouragement.
The fine was announced Monday. Nadal's reaction: "The rules are the rules."
