An Argentinian tennis star has been slapped with a huge fine after retiring from her US Open match just five games – and 17 minutes – into it.The incident occurred in the first round of qualifying on August 24, when world no. 198 Luisina Giovannini faced off against Italian star Lucia Bronzetti.However, the matchup came to a premature end after Bronzetti raced into a 5-0 lead inside 17 minutes at Flushing Meadows. Giovannini, 19, then approached the chair umpire and informed that she could not continue the match due to an injury.However, tennis chiefs have been left less than impressed with the teenage star and have since handed her a $20,000 (£15,000) – more than 60 percent her prize money.The South American earned $32,000 (£24,000) for reaching the last 128 of qualifying, meaning she will now take just $12,000 (£9,000) back home.
