I don't think any of us who are against the fine are saying that they shouldn't have some kind of reprimand for accidentally hitting someone with the racquet. I think that if someone does end up getting hit with the racquet, the player should definitely get fined or have a point penalty or whatever. I don't think, however, that a player should be fined in the cases when no one gets hurt.

I say eliminate the fine. Racquet smashing is entertaining to the fans. Besides, it's already costing them $500 to get a new one, anyway.

Not the ones who have sponsorship deals
