Serbian tennis player hit with 24-year ban for match-fixing
Stefan Milicevic, 29, fixed six matches – including five in which he played – and attempted to fix a further six between 2022 and 2024.
Serbian tennis player Stefan Milicevic has been handed a 24-year ban for his involvement in a match-fixing scheme, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced on Thursday. According to the ITIA, Milicevic, 29, orchestrated a corrupt network that fixed six matches, including five he participated in, and attempted to fix another six between 2022 and 2024.
Additionally, he is accused of recruiting or attempting to recruit multiple professional players to partake in the corrupt network, leading to other players fixing matches as well.
The ITIA revealed that Milicevic, with a career-high ATP ranking of 1,338, did not cooperate with the investigation and was also fined US$70,000 (€62,400). During his suspension, Milicevic is barred from participating in, coaching, or attending any events organized or sanctioned by the World Tennis Association, the Women's Tennis Association, the ATP, the Grand Slam tournaments, or any national association. His suspension is set to conclude on October 8, 2050.
