Former US Open finalist Mark Philippoussis has been slammed with a USD 10,000 fine and a four-month suspended sentence for taking part in a gambling promotion, tennis anti-corruption officials announced on Wednesday.
The one-time part of the coaching team of fellow Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas did not contest the charges.
Philippoussis, 47, was sanctioned for violating betting sponsorship rules for tennis-associated persons.
As long as he stays out of trouble, the former Top 10 player will face no further action,” officials said..
“As a sport, tennis has decided that accredited individuals should not have commercial relationships with betting companies given their potential ability to influence matches, access to inside information, and therefore the perception of such relationships,” anti-corruption boss Karen Moorhouse.
“Whilst this case is clearly not one of corruption, it is a rule that players, coaches, and others in the sport need to be aware of.”
