Z大哥成為第一位因消極比賽被罰款的選手 - 網球 Tennis

這是今年大滿貫開始的新制，如果消極比賽的話會被罰款，
而我們也誕生了第一個受罰者—Mischa Zverev，
他在第一輪對上韓國鄭泫的比賽，賽後被裁定處罰。

No 32-seeded Mischa Zverev was fined $45,000 for a poor
performance in his first-round match against Hyeon Chung.

Zverev was punished under a new rule implemented by the
Grand Slam Board in the off-season intended to deter players
with pre-existing injuries to start a tournament and retired
from their first-round matches.

Zverev was trailing Chung 2-6, 1-4 on the first day when
he retired. His fine of $45,000 nearly equals his first-round
prize money of 60,000 Australian dollars ($47,900).

罰款($45,000)幾乎等於他第一輪的獎金($47,900)。

此制度的用意在於希望選手在賽前明知有傷的情況下可以提前退賽，
讓大會得以找其他選手來補，而不用硬打為了賺獎金，卻隨便打打草草退賽。
