Wimbledon officials have penalised Novak Djokovic £5,600 following an outburst during his last-16 encounter with Roman Safiullin on Sunday.
The All England Club released its latest disciplinary document on Tuesday evening, confirming the seven-time champion faces punishment for an audible obscenity.
The 39-year-old Serbian progressed to the quarter-finals despite a turbulent afternoon on Centre Court, defeating the Russian qualifier 7-6(6), 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
His victory marked a 106th singles triumph at SW19, surpassing Roger Federer's previous record at the grass-court major.

The fine emerged during Djokovic's quarter-final clash against Felix Auger-Aliassime.
The precise incident triggering the penalty remains unconfirmed, though Djokovic received an on-court code violation from German umpire Timo Janzen after yelling expletives when broken to trail 2-0 in the third set.
The 24-time Grand Slam winner was heard shouting profanities in both English and Serbian during the heated exchange.
Centre Court spectators also jeered the Belgrade-born star after he struck a ball away in frustration later in the match.
Reflecting on his conduct afterwards, Djokovic acknowledged his behaviour fell short of his own standards.

"Sometimes it helps to kind of just filter things that are building inside," he explained. "Not something I'm proud of when I get warning or something like that, I have a meltdown."
The Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca received an identical £5,600 sanction for damaging his racket during his third-round defeat to Safiullin.
Polish player Hubert Hurkacz was also docked £5,600 for using audible profanity, while British doubles specialist Julian Cash faced the same financial penalty.
Andre Goransson received a £3,700 fine for unsportsmanlike behaviour in mixed doubles competition.
German player Tamara Korpatsch was penalised £2,200 for similar conduct during a doubles match.
The disciplinary list also included earlier sanctions against Damir Dzumhur, Thanasi Kokkinakis, Corentin Moutet and Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who were among an initial group of 11 players punished over the weekend.

Serbian player Hamad Medjedovic, Djokovic's compatriot, received a £3,700 penalty for audible profanity during main draw action.
