Controversial Australian player fined $15K for Wimbledon
Bernard Tomic and Daniil Medvedev were punished for their behaviour
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Bernard Tomic of Australia was fined $15,000 at Wimbledon - not for something he did during his first-round loss, but for what he said during the news conference afterward.
The fine amounts to a third of Tomic's prize money: First-round losers this year earn 35,000 pounds (about $45,000).
The penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct was announced on Thursday, two days after Tomic spoke about feeling "a little bit bored out there" during his match.
Tomic also said he "just couldn't find any motivation" to compete and acknowledged that when he called for a medical timeout, he was trying to "break a bit of momentum."
Also losing a chunk of change for unsportsmanlike conduct: Daniil Medvedev of Russia, who threw a handful coins in the direction of the chair umpire after a second-round loss on Wednesday. Medvedev was given three fines totaling $14,500.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
