A 19-year-old tennis player is fined after walking off court just 17 minutes into her US Open qualifying match. The incident occurs during the first round of qualifying on August 24, when world No. 198 Luisina Giovannini plays Lucia Bronzetti.
According to the reports, the match ends quickly—lasting only 17 minutes—following Giovannini leaving the court. Both outlets describe the same player and the same opponent, and they attribute the sanction to conduct that breaches match rules. While the coverage focuses on the size of the fine, details on the specific disciplinary reasoning, any formal hearing, or whether the player appeals are not provided in the supplied excerpts.
