The 24-year-old player, who reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of 896 in June 2025, initially challenged the charges before ceasing engagement with the disciplinary process. The case was ultimately decided by independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer Philippe Cavalieros<\/strong> following written submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The suspension, which includes credit for time already served under provisional suspension, will remain in effect until August 18, 2031<\/strong>. During that period, Lu will be prohibited from playing in, coaching at or attending any events sanctioned by the ATP, WTA, ITF, Grand Slams or national tennis associations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ITIA has also announced sanctions against players and officials from other countries. Dominican player Jasel Beltre<\/strong> received the heaviest punishment, a 20-year suspension and US$55,000 fine, after being found guilty of 20 anti-corruption violations connected to 11 matches between 2022 and 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dominican players Jossting Cruz, \u00c1ngel Maleno Rosario and Jesus Maleno Rosario<\/strong> also received sanctions ranging from three months to three years for match-fixing offences and failures to report corrupt approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In separate cases resolved directly with the ITIA, Slovak coach and former player Igor Zelenay<\/strong> accepted a nine-month suspension for attempting to purchase a wildcard for a player he coached, while Irish player Dorian Kos received a two-month suspension for betting on tennis matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The agency also confirmed that Croatian player Lauro Milanovic<\/strong> had his suspension reduced on appeal from eight years to six years and six months after one betting-related charge was dismissed, although a failure-to-cooperate offence was upheld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
