Williams, who faces fellow American Alison Riske in the quarter-finals on Tuesday as she looks to win her 24th Grand Slam title, has yet to comment on the fine.
Fabio Fognini was also fined $3,000 (€2,600) for unsportsmanlike conduct after a rant during his third round defeat to Tennys Sandgren.
The Italian had said he hoped a "bomb" would explode at the All England Club.
