Overview
- The International Tennis Integrity Agency found Stefan Milićević manipulated six matches and tried to fix six more between 2022 and 2024, and it says he recruited other professionals into the scheme.
- The agency says it closed its 2026 probe, formally notified Milićević on September 24, and applied the sanction on October 9 after he failed to respond to seven contact attempts.
- The sanction bars Milićević from competing, coaching, or attending ATP, WTA, Grand Slam, World Tennis or national federation events until October 8, 2050 and includes a $70,000 fine.
- No hearing was held because the player did not engage with investigators, and the ITIA has not publicly named the specific matches or the other players it says were recruited.
- The case marks a clear escalation in enforcement for the sport and raises practical concerns about low prize money, travel costs and weak oversight at Futures‑level events that make players vulnerable to betting offers.
