Stefan Milicevic led a “corrupt network” of match-fixing between 2022 and 2024, according to the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), with the 29-year-old shown to have fixed six matches – five of which he played in – and attempted to with six more. Milicevic, whose highest ATP ranking was 1338, did not engage or co-operate with the investigation, according to the ITIA, and was also fined 70,000 US dollars (\u00a352,800).
