NEW YORK (AP) Serena Williams has been fined a total of $17,000 for three code violations during the U.S. Open final.
The tournament referee's office docked Williams $10,000 for ''verbal abuse'' of chair umpire Carlos Ramos, $4,000 for being warned for coaching, and $3,000 for breaking her racket.
The money comes out of her prize money of $1.85 million as the runner-up. Williams lost to Naomi Osaka in Saturday's final.
