Hewitt to appeal if ATP fines over Cincinnati interview
CINCINNATI (Reuters) - World number one Lleyton Hewitt has said he will
appeal against any fine imposed by the ATP for his refusal to give a
television interview at the Cincinnati Masters on Tuesday.
According to the ATP, Hewitt is liable for a fine after failing to give
an interview with the tournament's host broadcaster ESPN.
"For sure," Hewitt said on Wednesday when asked if he would launch an
appeal. "Yeah, and I plan to win it."
Hewitt claims he never agreed to the interview and had already completed
his press commitments for the week.
The penalty could be as much as half his prize money for the week, which
would total $196,000 should the Australian win the Masters Series
tournament.
If Hewitt appeals the decision the matter will go before the ATP Stars
Committee made up of ex-players.
John McEnroe, Guy Forget and Hewitt's Davis Cup captain John Fitzgerald
currently serve on the committee although a new line-up could be in place
by the time any appeal is lodged.
Hewitt would probably have to wait until after the U.S. Open, which ends
on September 9, before he knows if the committee has ruled in his favour.
In the meantime Hewitt says he is still unhappy about the situation and
has tried to contact ATP chief executive Mark Miles to resolve the issue.
"Nothing has been resolved," added the reigning Wimbledon champion.
"I tried to contact Mark Miles a lot of times yesterday, and he is in
Cincinnati, but for some reason he doesn't answer his phone."
