Harrison fined by ATP after refusing on-court interview over mask wearing Friday, 15 January 2021 American tennis player Christian Harrison has been fined after refusing to take part in an on-court interview in protest over mask rules at the Delray Beach Open. Harrison claimed it was "not healthy" to wear a mask for "more time than absolutely necessary" after a tough match. The 26-year-old defeated top seed Christian Garin of Chile before declining to be interview on court, resulting in a fine of $3,000 (£2,200/€2,476) from the Association of Tennis Professionals for not fulfilling mandatory duties. Two days later, Harrison - ranked world number 789 - booked his place in the semi-finals with victory over Italian Gianluca Mager in Delray Beach.
