Overview
- James Bray was escorted from Rod Laver Arena and ordered to leave the Melbourne Park precinct for 24 hours.
- Tennis Australia and Victoria Police said staff received multiple complaints and issued several warnings before calling police.
- Some outlets reported an approximately A$700 fine, but Bray later stated he was not fined and only received the move-on order.
- The removal occurred during Alex de Minaur’s match against Frances Tiafoe, after Bray had gained attention for loudly backing Emma Raducanu earlier in the tournament.
- Organisers said the action was not a tournament ban, and police noted 21 ejections that day for alcohol- or behaviour-related issues.
