Bernard Tomic has been fined 100 per cent of his prize money by Wimbledon for a lack of effort in his first-round match.
The Australian, who was punished for a similar offence two years ago, has been hit with a £45,000 sanction after the All England Club ruled he "did not perform to the required professional standard" during his 58-minute defeat to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Tomic was beaten 6-2 6-1 6-4 on Day Two of this year's competition, wrapping up the quickest win in the men's singles since 2004, when Roger Federer thrashed Colombia’s Alejandro Falla 6-1 6-2 6-0 in the second round.
A statement from Wimbledon organisers declared: "The Grand Slam Rule Book regarding First Round Performance states the following: 'All players are expected to perform to a professional standard in every Grand Slam match. With respect to First Round Performance, if in the opinion of the Referee the player did not perform to the required professional standard, the Referee may determine that the player be subject to a fine of up to first round prize money.'
"It is the opinion of the Referee that the performance of Bernard Tomic in his first round match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga did not meet the required professional standards, and therefore he has been fined the maximum amount of £45,000 which will be deducted from prize money.
"The player will have the opportunity to appeal to the director, GSB."
BBC commentator John Lloyd branded Tomic's antics as "embarrassing" and called his performance "disgraceful".
Tomic himself was somewhat dismissive post-match when asked if he believed he had displayed a lack of effort.
"Well, I returned pretty bad. Didn’t see his serve. Pretty terrible match.
"I think I played as best as I could. It’s just I played terrible. And he served 24 aces."
Tomic was fined £11,000 two years ago for saying he was "bored" in a match with Mischa Zverev and dropped by racquet sponsors Head.
