So, here’s the scoop – five tennis players have been caught red-handed for match-fixing, and get this, one of them is a Mexican dude who’s been up to no good a whopping 92 times! The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) spilled the beans on Thursday, revealing that these players were found guilty of tampering with matches. And get this, the ringleader of a match-fixing gang, Grigor Sargsyan, got slapped with a five-year prison sentence in a Belgian criminal case. The ITIA press release called out Alberto Rojas-Maldonado, the Mexican player, for being a major player in corrupting other players. This guy reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of 992 back in 2015, but it looks like he was playing some dirty games behind the scenes. Rojas-Maldonado got hit with a lifetime ban and a hefty $250,000 fine. Looks like the ITIA is cracking down hard on these shady dealings. It’s a real shame to see players resorting to this kind of stuff. Let’s hope the tennis world cleans up its act soon!
