Hugo Gaston of France reacts during the third-round match against Holger Rune of Denmark at the French Open on May 28, 2022, in Paris. The massive fine is well over Gaston’s earrings in 2023. According to the ATP Tour’s website, the 22-year-old player is 2-5 this season and has earned just a little more than $121,000 in prize money. According to the tour, unsportsmanlike conduct fines"increase by 100% with each consecutive violation in the same season."

The Tour said Gaston’s appeal of the suspension could result in the fine being reduced by half if he meets certain criteria, such as no additional violations during his year-long probation.
