The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has suspended two players for breaches of anti-corruption rules.
These are Mark Kaufman from Russia and Luka Todorović from Serbia. Both accepted sanctions, waiving their right to a hearing before an independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer (AHO).
Kaufman was fined $5,000 (of which $3,500 is suspended) for failing to co-operate with an ITIA investigation into possible corruption, including refusing to allow his phone to be examined. Furthermore, he has been suspended for one year and six months.
Todorović was suspended for nine weeks and fined $10,000 (of which $7,500 is suspended). His violations include knowledge or suspicion of corrupt activity and failure to report it. This includes a corrupt approach in 2023.
Todorović’s suspension began on 19 August, while Kaufman’s began on 24 December 2025.
Separately, Croatian tennis coach Marino Jakić has been provisionally suspended by the ITIA since 24 June, pending an investigation into alleged breaches of anti-corruption rules dating back to 2023.
Jakić appealed the suspension to an independent AHO on 13 July, but the suspension was upheld on 18 August.
While suspended or provisionally suspended individuals may not play in, coach at or attend any events organised or sanctioned by World Tennis, WTA, ATP, the Grand Slams or any national association.
During Q2 2026, ITIA received 10 match alerts from the regulated betting industry, a 52% reduction from the 21 recorded between January and March.
Seven alerts involved lower-level men’s competitions. Five came from M15 World Tennis Tour events and two concerned M25 tournaments. The remaining alerts related to two ATP Challenger 75 matches and one women’s W15 match.
A betting alert indicates that unusual activity has been identified by monitoring systems. It does not establish that match-fixing occurred and may be caused by factors including incorrect pricing, player fitness or educated betting.
The ITIA received 68 suspicious betting reports across the whole of 2025, compared with 95 in 2024
