The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has announced sanctions against four players for their involvement in match-fixing schemes.

25-year-old Thai player Natthasit Kunsuwan has been banned for 12 years after admitting to 39 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP) between 2022 and 2024.

His offenses included manipulating match outcomes, receiving financial rewards, and concealing corrupt activity. He has also been fined $75,000, with $56,200 suspended.

25-year-old French player Jaimee Floyd Angele received a 5-year and 3-month ban for orchestrating a fixed match in exchange for payment, refusing to cooperate with investigators, and destroying evidence. He was fined $20,000, with $10,000 suspended.

33-year-old Swedish former player of Brazilian origin Christian Lindell was found guilty of four TACP breaches, including fixing the outcome of one match and maintaining ties to a Belgian match-fixing syndicate. He has been banned for 7 years and fined $10,000.

33-year-old French former player Samuel Bensoussan received a 1-year and 11-month ban for manipulating the results of four matches and for his connections to the same Belgian syndicate. He was also fined $12,000.

During their suspension periods, all four individuals are prohibited from playing, coaching, or attending any tennis event organized by ITIA members (ATP, ITF, WTA, Tennis Australia, Fédération Française de Tennis, Wimbledon, and USTA) or any national tennis association.

Previously, the ITIA reported a decline in suspicious tennis matches during the first quarter of 2025.
