Italian Fabio Fognini was fined $96,000 (81,000 euros) and hit with a suspended ban from two Grand Slams on Wednesday for having insulted an umpire at the US Open.
Fognini was kicked out of the US Open and fined $24,000 at the time for launching a sexist tirade at Swedish female umpire Louise Engzell after a first round defeat to Italian compatriot Stefano Travaglia at the end of August.
The world No.28 has been warned that if he re-offends between now and the end of 2019, he will be banned from two Grand Slams, one of which will be the US Open.
However, if he keeps out of trouble his fine will be halved.
"Mr Fognini accepts and will not appeal this decision and he has expressed remorse for his admitted misconduct," said the Grand Slam Board in a statement.
Shortly after being kicked out of the US Open, Fognini, 30, appeared contrite and said already he would accept whatever punishment the Grand Slam Board decided to impose.
"Should (the Grand Slam Board) decide to ban me from the next Australian Open, I will accept the decision, because actions have consequences, and I need to pay for what I did," Fognini told Italian Sky Sports TV a month ago.
"I am aware of the severity of my mistake, I take full responsibility for it."

BRUSSELS, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- The other 27 members of the Europe Union (EU) are not working on a "no deal" scenario in their Brexit talks with Britain, President of the European Council Donald Tusk said on his twitter account Tuesday.
"We negotiate in good faith and hope for 'sufficient progress' by December," he added.
Tusk' remarks came a day after British Prime Minister Theresa May told Britain to prepare for a no-deal Brexit.
Addressing MPs in the House of Commons on the first day back after the conference season, May said achieving a special partnership after Brexit will require leadership and flexibility, not just from Britain, but from the 27 nations of the EU.
"As we look forward to the next stage, the ball is in their court. But I am optimistic it will receive a positive response," May told MPs in her first parliamentary statement since her big speech last month in Florence.
"What we are seeking is not just the best possible deal for us, but I believe that will also be the best possible deal for our European friends too. Progress will not always be smooth but by approaching these negotiations in a constructive way in a spirit of friendship and cooperation and with our sights firmly set on the future, I believe we can prove the doomsayers wrong," May added.
In her statement, May said the British government had published Monday two new policy consultation statements on trade and customs.
"These pave the way for legislation to allow the UK to operate as an independent trading nation and to create an innovative customs system that will help us achieve the greatest possible tariff and barrier-free trade as we leave the EU," said May.
Also on Monday, Brexit negotiation entered its fifth round in Brussels. With the absence of Britain's Brexit Secretary David Davis, the two sides kicked off their talks in a low profile -- no joint press conference as usual.
Prior to her speech in the House of Commons, May told the other 27 members of the Union that "the ball is in the EU's court," calling on EU to take actions and exert more flexibility and imagination in the negotiations.
Answering the question of a British reporter about "the ball is in whose court", Margaritis Schinas, European Commission chief spokesperson, told reporters during Monday's daily briefing in the headquarters of the Commission that "This is not exactly a ball game".
"You know we don't provide comments on comment, but what I can remind you is that there is sequencing of these talks," he said.
"There is no solution found so far to the step one, that is the divorce proceedings, so the ball is entirely in the Uk's court for the rest to happen," said Schinas, inviting some British media to deem these talks as "ping pong politics".
The long-awaited Brexit talks was launched on June 19, nearly one year after Britain voted to leave the bloc by a narrow margin on June 23, 2016.
May sent a notification letter to the EU in late March, triggering a two-year countdown to Britain's withdrawal of the bloc after more than 44 years of membership.
ALGIERS, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- Algerian counterterrorism troops on Tuesday arrested two terrorists in the southernmost town of Timiaouine, near the border with Mali, the Defense Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
The two gunmen were killed during an ambush by army troops, as a Kalashnikov submachine gun and a quantity of ammunition were retrieved.
Last week, four armed militants surrendered to security authorities in the southern town of In Amenas, near the Libyan border.
Dozens of terrorists have surrendered to army troops due to the underway intense counterterrorism operations in the past nine months, which have killed over 100 armed militants, in addition to destroying bunkers of war weapons and bombs, mostly on southern and eastern borders.
Despite the improving security situation in Algeria, the regions east of the capital, including the provinces of Boumerdes, Tizi Ouzou and Jijel, and also the southern part of the country, namely the provinces of Tamanrasset, Adrar and Illizi, still harbor a few number of terrorists.
