NEW YORK — American Mike Bryan, one of the greatest doubles players in tennis history, has been fined $10,000 at the US Open for pointing his racket as if it were a gun during a men's doubles match.

Bryan, whose twin brother Bob is his partner, was called for a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct in the last game of the second set during Saturday's match after making the gesture.

After a lob by their opponents, Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena and Argentina's Federico Delbonis was ruled in, the Bryans challenged the call. A replay review showed that the ball landed out. That’s when Bryan pointed toward the chair umpire and line judge with a finger, then placed the head of his racket on his shoulder and pretended to “aim” the handle.

It’s the highest fine given to a man so far at this year’s U.S. Open. The Byran brothers won the second-round match 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.

U.S. Tennis Association spokesman Brendan McIntyre said: “The gesture warranted that amount.”
