MOSCOW (Reuters): Dutch tennis player Caroline Vis, disqualified from Sunday's Kremlin Cup women's doubles final for insulting the umpire, will also be fined, a spokeswoman for the Russian organizers said yesterday.

Vis and partner Yayuk Basuki of Indonesia, the second seeds, were trailing 5-3 in the first set to top seeds Arantxa Sanchez- Vicario and Natasha Zvereva when Vis argued with the umpire over a line call and was ordered to leave the court.

The amount of the fine has yet to be set.
