The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has slapped a former women’s tennis player from Bosnia and Herzegovina with a six-year suspension for match fixing.

The London-based integrity body took to X Friday to share its sanction of Jasmina Tinji? after she admitted to “23 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program.”

Tinji?, 33, who peaked in 2013 with a singles ranking of 236, did not contest the ITIA’s penalties relating to match-fixing activity in 2017 and 2018.

According to the ITA, Tinji?’s rule-contravening schemes included: “contriving the outcome of matches, facilitating wagering, and receiving money in return for not giving best efforts in matches.”

backdated to start from May 18, 2022

The ITIA also hit the Sweden resident with a $20,000 penalty “of which $18,000 is suspended.” In 2022, the Swedish Tennis Federation (STF) handed Tinji? with a 4.5-year domestic suspension after finding her guilty of match-fixing offences under Swedish criminal law. In light of the STF’s ban, the ITIA’s suspension of Tinji? was backdated to start from May 18, 2022. It will end on May 17, 2028.

Until then, Tinji? is banned from playing, coaching, or attending any professional tennis event authorized or sanctioned by ITIA member organizations including the ATP, ITF, WTA, USTA, Tennis Australia, Fédération Fran?aise de Tennis, and Wimbledon.
