Chinese tennis player Baoluo Zheng has been banned for nine months after admitting trying to fix a match, the International Tennis Integrity Agency said.
The 21-year-old player approached an opponent and offered money in exchange for him to intentionally lose a match at a tournament in Egypt in October 2022, the agency said in a statement.
Baoluo, who has a career high of 525 in doubles, was also fined $5,000, although $2,000 is suspended. He was provisionally suspended on October 27 after playing in a tournament in Sharm El Sheikh.
ITIA said the case was dealt with under the agreed sanctions framework, which allows sanctions to be imposed after a guilty plea without the need for a hearing.
The agency said Baoluo admitted violating three counts of sports’ anti-corruption rules. The ban continues until July 26.
