Hewitt, Coria pay for fracas By Leo Schlink July 20, 2005 LLEYTON Hewitt and Guillermo Coria are to be fined by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) after the pair's savage Davis Cup confrontation. ITF referee German Norbet Peick has told Tennis Australia officials both players will be penalised for incidents stemming from Friday's poisonous opening match in Sydney. The ITF Davis Cup committee will determine the fines at its next meeting. Hewitt will be censured for referring to Portuguese umpire Carlos Ramos as a "poof", while Coria will be carpeted for spitting in Peick's direction. Peick lodged a report with the ITF after reviewing videotape of the match. Hewitt yesterday apologised to gay groups. "I regret having said what I said in the heat of the match," the world No.2 said. "I apologise for any offence I may have caused to any individual or groups." The South Australian made the comment to Peick about Ramos after being upset by a line call. The Victorian Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby condemned Hewitt's comment as malicious, vindictive and offensive. Coria is likely to be fined more than Hewitt, although he will escape penalty for spitting at support group, The Fanatics. The Hewitt-Coria match will live in infamy. Hewitt accused Coria of clutching his groin three times in the fourth set as he prepared to serve. The Australian branded Coria an arrogant, sore loser. Coria returned fire, saying: "Inside the court, you really feel like killing him. He can be the best player in the world, he can win every tournament, but he cannot behave the way he does, abusing the captain, abusing the other players, abusing everybody." Hewitt said Coria had attempted to bump him at the end of the first set. Juan Ignacio Chela, another Argentine, was docked $2600 in January for spitting at Hewitt. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.229.131.91
