Overview
- The International Tennis Integrity Agency imposed the 24-year ban and $70,000 fine that took effect on October 9, 2026, removing Milicevic from rankings and the professional circuit.
- The ITIA found Milicevic manipulated six matches between 2022 and 2024, played in five of those matches, and attempted to influence six additional contests.
- Investigators say he recruited other players into a corrupt network that led to further manipulated results, expanding the scope of the probe beyond his own matches.
- Milicevic did not cooperate with the inquiry despite seven separate ITIA contact attempts, and the sanction bars him from playing, coaching, or attending events run by World Tennis, the ATP, the WTA, Grand Slams, or national federations through October 8, 2050.
- Although Milicevic never rose high in the rankings—his best ATP singles position was No. 1338 in August 2014—the case highlights integrity risks at lower-tier events and could prompt further investigations into the alleged network and any affected results.
