29-yo tennis player, hailing from Djokovic's country, handed 24-year ban

Serbian tennis player Stefan Milicevic has received a 24-year ban until October 2050 and a $70,000 fine over alleged match-fixing and recruiting players into a corrupt network. The ITIA accused him of fixing or attempting to manipulate 12 matches between 2022 and 2024. His failure to cooperate influenced the sanction. The case follows French player Quentin Folliot’s 20-year ban for match-fixing violations.
