So, Arthur Fery has been fined $5,000 for lac of effort in his match, I read ????

EDIT: guess they won't be doing that to Shelton and Alcaraz

Water under the bridge for Arthur, I'm sure...  

QF:  (8) Ben Shelton (USA) WR 9 defeated (2) Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) WR 3 by 6-7(5) 6-1 6-3 1-6 7-6(10-7) in only four hours & 28 minutes!

Not for lack of effort - for comments made to umpire

 Thanks - sorry - it was part of an article about the woman who got fined for lack of effort and it just mentioned other fines, so I assumed they were all for the same thing 

My bad

And that's far better, anyway - no one minds about fines for telling the umpire he's/she's messed up

Unfortunately this all means that Zverev will very, very likely add his second slam to his tally on Sunday night
