I think that is fair.
He should be suspended too, though. But, by now, since they never suspended Kyrgios or Zverev or Medvedev, it would have to be a suspended suspension.

I suspended an artist from the gallery yesterday for dropping a bunch of F words on me. I should have also fined him $120,000. :D

Kyrgios did get an 8-week suspension for lack of effort a few years ago - hard to know how to compare that behaviour to Tiafoe's behaviour.

I meant the occasion in which he told Stan that Kokkinakis had been "dating" Donna Vecic, who was Stan's GF at the time.
He was, let's say, less polite than what I am writing here.

I wonder how come he got to be so chronically injured. We know he is a big man, but they all had the best physios. Why is he so battered?

Biology, heredity, really, really bad luck.....

AND, he has to deal with that his now deceased father apparently having scammed away $30+ millions....Albeit, I am assuming this has already been discussed here.

Ok. That is two very high ranked players in less than 6 months testing positive for very low levels of banned substances.
Time for a workshop about this. It makes the sport no good whatsoever. Especially since both were #1 at the time.

Making sure they continue to have access to the players and their teams.
