PLISKOVA Should Be Banned
Sakkari could have simply conceded the point. Would have been honest.

Karolina donated that amount to charity. Further, reports have it that several top-10 players went to WTA officials in Rome to speak in behalf of Karolina. Apparently it had some effect. The fine is about right..... The link to the above-noted item is in a Czech news items. Google translate is a mess. Lastly, it's reported (unconfirmed) that the Chair has been suspended from the next 2 Slams because of her mishandling of that point. Alrighty......
