What does a 24‑year exile mean for Serbian tennis?
The International Tennis Integrity Agency says Milicevic ran a corrupt network from 2022 to 2024, fixing six matches – five of them he played – and trying to rig six more.
Milicevic, whose peak ATP rank was 1338, ignored the probe and was hit with a $70,000 fine. For my money, the penalty underscores the gravity of his actions.
The ITIA noted he also tried to enlist multiple pros into the scheme, prompting a cascade of match‑fixing across the circuit.
His suspension runs until October 8, 2050, when he’ll be 53 years old.
During the ban he cannot play, coach, or attend any World Tennis, WTA, ATP, Grand Slam, or national events – a blanket exclusion that will likely reshape lower‑tier competition.
