Serbian tennis player Stefan Milićević has received a 24 year suspension and a substantial financial penalty for multiple violations of tennis anti corruption rules.
Examining the ITIA investigation and corruption findings
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) imposed the sanction following an investigation into extensive match fixing activities conducted between 2022 and 2024.
The disciplinary action follows a comprehensive inquiry by the International Tennis Integrity Agency into corruption within professional tennis. Investigators established that Milićević fixed six matches, competing in five of them directly, while attempting to manipulate an additional six fixtures between 2022 and 2024. Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the 29 year old player attempted to recruit other professional athletes into his corrupt network.
Having reached a career high singles ranking of 1,338th in 2014, Milićević refused to cooperate with investigators. His suspension officially commenced on October 9, 2026, and will remain in effect until October 8, 2050, accompanied by a $70,000 fine.
