| LONDON (AP) - Martina Hingis was fined $1,500 by the International Tennis
Federation on Tuesday for crossing the netline in the French Open final
against Steffi Graf.
Hingis, who lost in three sets to Graf on Saturday, also was given a
warning for smashing her racket and was penalized a point for crossing
the line to argue a call with the umpire and lineswoman.
The ITF declined to confirm a report in the Daily Telegraph that Hingis
was involved in a ``physical incident'' with a women's WTA Tour official
after the match. The newspaper said the tournament referee would review
tapes reported to show the incident with a heavy fine or suspension possible
from the Grand Slam committee.
