LONDON (AP) — Slovakian tennis player Dagmara Baskova was banned for 12 years on Thursday for match-fixing offenses, the Tennis Integrity Unit said.
Baskova admitted to charges of five incidents of match fixing in 2017, the TIU said. She was also fined $40,000 with all but $1,000 suspended and payable within 90 days.
Baskova had a career-high WTA ranking of 1,117 in singles and 777 in doubles.
She has since retired from the sport, the TIU said.
