Novak Djokovic has been fined £6,117 for smashing his racquet against the net post during the Wimbledon men’s singles final.

The incident occurred in the fifth set of his loss to Spain’s Carlos AlcarazAMP when the 36-year-old Serb’s serve was broken in the third game.

Umpire Fergus Murphy immediately issued Djokovic a warning for a code violation for the transgression.

The money will be deducted from his runner-up cheque of £1.175m.

Djokovic’s frustration had built up in the decisive set of an enthralling contest on Sunday, having missed a simple chance at the net for a break to go 2-0 up.

The 20-year-old’s victory at the All England Club denied Djokovic a 24th grand slam title.
