The issue of match fixing in tennis is an ongoing problem. First reported on by The Sunday Telegraph in 2003,[1] an organisation called the Tennis Integrity Unit was set up in 2008 following an investigation into the problem.[2] In 2011, Daniel Köllerer became the first player to receive a lifetime ban from the sport due to match fixing.[3] Later that year, the organisers of the Wimbledon tournament were provided a list of people suspected of involvement in the issue.[4] In 2016 the BBC reported on "evidence of widespread suspected match-fixing at the top level of world tennis, including at Wimbledon",[5] and in February 2019 the BBC said that tennis was a "sport riddled with corruption".[6]
In 2021 the International Governing Bodies of professional tennis established the International Tennis Integrity Agency as a further step to combat corruption in the sport.[7]
