  David Nalbandian may face $10,000 fine June 18, 2012 - 11:43 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - David Nalbandian was disqualified from the Aegon Championships final after injuring a line judge by kicking an advertising board into his shin. The Argentine, 30, was leading Marin Cilic 7-6 (7-3) 3-4 when he smashed a panel in front of Andrew McDougall's seat, causing his leg to bleed heavily. Chair umpire Fergus Murphy awarded Cilic the match, while ATP supervisor Tom Barnes confirmed the decision. "I am very sorry, sometimes you get frustrated on court," said Nalbandian. Given that the runners-up prize money at Queen's is 44,945 euros (Ј36,114), Nalbandian stands to lose more, as well facing a fine of up to $10,000 (Ј6,365) and forfeiting the ranking points he earned, according to BBC News.
