Former ATP Tour player Younes Rachidi has been banned for life from professional tennis after being found guilty of 135 counts of match-fixing.
Rachidi, of Morocco, had a limited pro career, with a career high singles ranking of 753. That was achieved in 2013, the same year his doubles ranking peaked at 473 and despite nine matches for his country in the Davis Cup, he never qualified for a Grand Slam tournament.
But having not played on the tour since 2017, his career will now end in disgrace after an investigation by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA). Rachidi, 36, has set a new marker for the most charges racked up by an individual player, and as well as his permanent ban has also been fined £28,000. His ATP Tour career winnings only amounted to £39,000.
