Six Moroccan Players Banned for Match Fixing
Players are prohibited from playing in or attending any tennis event sanctioned by any international tennis governing body or national association.
Six Moroccan tennis players have been banned for breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP) rules.
The bans, which range from nine years to a lifetime ban, stem from match-fixing charges, the International Tennis Integrity Agency announced. The highest-ranked player among the six reached a career-high rank of No. 576.

The cases were ruled on by independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer Charles Hollander QC, who after a hearing ruled that:
Amine Ahouda is banned for 11 years and fined $5,000 USD.
Anas Chakrouni is banned for 10 years and fined $5,000 USD.
Ayoub Chakrouni is banned for life and fined $10,000 USD.
Mohamed Zakaria Khalil is banned for 9 years and fined $5,000 USD.
Soufiane El Mesbahi is banned for 9 years and fined $5,000 USD.
Yassir Kilani is banned for 9 years and fined $5,000 USD.
The sanctions mean that the players are prohibited from playing in or attending any tennis event authorized or sanctioned by any international tennis governing body or national association for the length of their bans.
Mr. Hollander found that the players were guilty of multiple offenses and a variety of match fixing charges, including fixing elements of matches, receiving money for fixing and failing to report corrupt approaches. The ITIA investigation found that the players’ offences were linked and therefore were subject to a joint hearing.
The players’ suspensions begin from the date of their provisional suspension on July 13th, 2021 and they have 20 business days from the date of receipt of the decision to lodge any appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

American Mackenzie McDonald Wins ATP Comeback Player of the Year Award
The 26-year-old finished 2021 at a career-high ranking.By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Tuesday December 14, 2021
American Mackenzie McDonald has locked down the ATP’s “Comeback Player of the Year” award. The American, who rose 140 spots in the rankings in 2021, from 194 to 54, completed his recovery from hamstring surgery in 2019 by emerging as a consistent threat on tour.
The 26-year-old finishes the season at a career-high ranking of 54 after a season that saw him go 18-19 and reach his first career ATP final at the Citi Open in Washington, D.C.
McDonald also reached the second week at the Australian Open, where he became the lowest-ranked player to reach the last 16 at the Australian Open since World No. 248 Canas in 2004.
McDonald also won the Nur-Sultan challenger title and reached the semifinals of two other challengers. He won a total of 42 matches across all levels and qualifying.

“It’s extremely rewarding. For me it’s a massive accomplishment, honestly,” he told the ATP. “At the end of the year I was hoping I was going to be nominated, I got that and then actually winning it is really cool for me. It was a really big comeback and I feel like I put in all the hard work. When I was going through the rehab process I did everything I possibly could to get myself back.”
