when a player violates a rule or does not follow the tennis code of conduct, the umpire or tournament official can issue one of the following (Section IV, Article C, Item 18 – "Unsportsmanlike Conduct"):
* "Point Penalty"
* "Suspension Point"
Generally, this results in the following escalation:
* First offense: Warning

* Third (and each subsequent) offense: Loss of a game
After the third offense, it is up to the chair umpire or tournament director whether this constitutes a Default/
Disqualification.

drug use, etc.
