American Tennis player Nikita Kryvonos who played in the 2006, 2007 and 2008 edition of the Bermuda XL Tennis Open at the Coral Beach and Tennis Club has been banned for 10 years and fined $20,000 after being found guilty of breaches of the sport's anti-corruption programme.
The Tennis Integrity Unit found he colluded with third parties "to contrive the outcome of a match" at the Challenger event in Illinois in 2015.
This coincided with suspicious betting activity on the match.
The 30-year-old's ban will expire on 29 November 2025.
Kryvonos achieved a career-high singles ranking of 389 in 2007, his most recent ranking, in 2015, was 931.
