There are plenty of rules and regulations at Wimbledon, and the All England Club are not afraid to brandish costly fines to anyone who breaks them.

The legendary British tournament is still clinging on to its gentlemen’s clubs roots and it expects the biggest stars in tennis to follow them.

The strict ‘all white’ dress code is not the only rule players need to follow at Wimbledon and 12 players have been landed with fines in the first week of the tournament.

Here is every player who has been given a fine by the All England Club as Wimbledon have brandished over £30,000 to rule-breaking players.

British star Henry Patten tops list of Wimbledon fines

Wimbledon 2024 doubles champion Henry Patten has the unfortunate honour of the top spot for the largest fine at the tournament in 2025.

The British star was fined £9000 for verbally abusing staff on the practice courts when they tried to cut short a session.

Former World No. 17 Adrian Mannarino is next on the list for unsportsmanlike conduct in his second round match with Valentin Royer.

The French star came through the match in four sets, but it came at the price of a £4400 fine from the All England Club.

Unsportsmanlike conduct also landed Elena Pridankina, Jule Niemeier, and Luca Van Assche fines in the thousands.

Audible obscenity was another major culprit for many of the 12 fines, with four players receiving fines for their outbursts.

What’s the largest fine in Wimbledon history?

When pondering the largest fines in Wimbledon history, many fans would think of the likes of Nick Kyrgios and John McEnroe.

However, the largest fine in Wimbledon history came from an unlikely source – and an even more unlikely reason.

Bernard Tomic was slapped with an $80,000 fine at Wimbledon in 2019 for a ‘lack of effort’ against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

The Australian lost his match in straight sets to the Frenchman inside an hour, which infuriated the organisers.
