David Nalbandian has escaped further punishment for his stormy disqualification from the Queen's Club final where he injured a line judge after destroying an advertising hoarding.
The fiery Argentine was defaulted in the final against Marin Cilic last weekend for his controversial behavior which was followed by a tirade against the ATP, who he accused of forcing players to perform on a dangerous, rain-soaked surface.
Nalbandian was fined but was also facing the prospect of a lengthy ban after already having been accused of throwing water at an official during the Australian Open.
"No further disciplinary action will be taken against David Nalbandian, who was defaulted last Sunday from the final Queen's Club," said an ATP statement.
