Stefan Milicevic: Serbian tennis player hit with 24-year ban for match-fixing

  • Serbian tennis player Stefan Milicevic has been hit with a 24-year ban for match-fixing.
  • The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) said Milicevic, 29, fixed six matches - including five that he played in - and attempted to fix six other matches between 2022 and 2024.
  • Milicevic, who achieved a career-high ranking of 1338, was fined $70,000 (£52,800).
  • Milicevic was found to be the mastermind behind a “corrupt network” of match-fixing and has now been banned for decades.
  • His lengthy ban will come to an end of 8 October, 2050, and the ITIA confirmed he is “not allowed to play in, coach at, or attend any events organised or sanctioned by World Tennis, WTA, ATP, the Grand Slams, or any national association” before this date.
