Serbian Tennis Player Stefan Milicevic Receives 24-Year Ban for Match-Fixing
Serbian tennis player Stefan Milicevic has been banned for 24 years by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) for allegedly fixing six matches and attempting to fix six more between 2022 and 2024. The 29-year-old, who reached a career-high ranking of 1,338, was also accused of recruiting players into a match-fixing network. Milicevic did not cooperate with the investigation. The ban, effective from October 2026 until 2050, includes a $70,000 fine and prohibits participation in professional tennis activities. This follows a similar 20-year ban for French player Quentin Folliot.
