Fognini fined $24 000 for actions during US Open loss

New York - Fabio Fognini has been fined $24 000 for unsportsmanlike conduct during his first-round loss at the US Open. 

The Italian was cited Friday by the International Tennis Federation for three conduct violations, including one incident in which he insulted a female chair umpire. His fines were for $15 000, $5 000 and $4 000. 

Fognini, the No 22-seed, lost to fellow Italian Stefano Travaglia 6-4, 7-6 (8), 3-6, 6-0 on Wednesday.
