Overview
- The International Tennis Integrity Agency imposed a 24‑year ineligibility that came into effect on 9 October 2026 and will run until 8 October 2050, and it also fined Milicevic $70,000.
- The ITIA found Milicevic fixed six matches, five of which he played in, and attempted to fix six more between 2022 and 2024.
- Investigators say he recruited or tried to recruit other players into a corrupt network that led to additional match‑fixing, though the agency has not publicly named those players or specific matches.
- Milicevic did not respond to a Notice of Major Offense issued on 24 September 2026 despite seven contact attempts, so the sanction was applied without a hearing decision.
- The case follows other heavy sanctions at the sport’s lower tiers and highlights how the ITIA is stepping up enforcement to deter organized corruption among players who earn little and face less oversight.
