Adolfo Daniel Vallejo received a $65,000 fine after a heated match at the French Open left a female umpire the target of unacceptable remarks. The world number 71, eliminated in the second round, issued an apology on Instagram, acknowledging the emotional toll of a five‑hour battle.

The penalty falls short of the maximum $100,000 allowed for unsportsmanlike conduct under the Grand Slam rulebook. Players who exit in round two earn €130,000, but Vallejo’s conduct drew a separate sanction.

Vallejo’s actions underline the growing scrutiny of on‑court behavior. The fine reinforces the governing body’s commitment to respect for officials and sets a clear precedent for future conduct at major tournaments.
