After all the discussions we have had about spitting in the ITA world it seems that it has now made its entrance into the professional world.
Victor Hanescu of Romania was fined $15,000 today for spitting at the crowd in his match at Wimbledon. Seems that someone in the crowd said something that upset him so he spit in their direction and then tanked the rest of the match.
An interesting side note is that four people were arrested following the match for "behavior likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress."
Obviously they have never been to a good ITA match! Just think of how much Skoal he could have bought with $15,000.00.
