Wimbledon fined Fabio Fognini $3,000 on Monday after the Italian tennis star went on a “bomb” tirade following his loss over the weekend.

During a three-set loss to Tennys Sandgren at tiny Court 14, the 10th-ranked Fognini referred in his native tongue to the “damned English” and said he wished “a bomb would explode at the club.”

More than 1,000 bombs fell in the area during World War II, destroying thousands of nearby homes, and 16 fell on the tournament grounds. One hit Centre Court.

At his news conference Saturday, Fognini said his comments came in the heat of the moment. He said he was upset about not playing well and the condition of the court’s grass.

“If I offended anyone, I apologize,” Fognini said in Italian. “That definitely wasn’t my intention.”

Fognini wasn’t the only one punished Monday.

Serena Williams was fined $10,000 on Monday for damaging a court during practice before Wimbledon started.

It’s unclear how the court was damaged. The fine was the largest fine handed out by the All England Club on Monday.

The 37-year-old Williams has already earned $368,102 for reaching the quarterfinals and will match up with Alison Riske on Tuesday, looking to take another step toward an eighth women’s singles title at Wimbledon.

Nick Kyrgios received two fines, totaling $8,000, for unsportsmanlike conduct.
