Yannick Noah of France and Amos Mansdorf of Israel were fined $500 each Sunday for their part in an incident after their third-round match.

Noah, who came from two sets down to win the rain-delayed match completed Saturday, was fined by the Men’s Tennis Council for an audible obscenity. Mansdorf was fined for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The incident occurred when Noah refused to shake hands with Mansdorf after their match. Noah, who accused Mansdorf of cursing at his family, repeated the obscenity in front of television cameras.

“The whole thing is settled,” Noah said. “I spoke to Amos and it is over. It is not a big deal.”
