Tennis Star Leonardo Aboian Suspended for Match Fixing

Argentinian tennis player Leonardo Aboian has been suspended for six years and nine months and fined $40,000 by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) after admitting to 30 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP). The 27-year-old confessed to manipulating the outcome of multiple matches.

Details of the Investigation

Aboian admitted to fixing eight of his own singles and doubles matches on the ITF World Tennis Tour and the ATP Challenger Tour between 2018 and 2025. The offenses included facilitating bets, manipulating match results, accepting payments for non-full commitment and failing to report attempts at corruption, according to the ITIA.

Career Impact and Provisional Suspension

Aboian reached a career-high world singles ranking of 229 in April 2025. He had been provisionally suspended since September 19, 2025, and that time served will be credited towards his overall suspension.

Length of Ban and Restrictions

The suspension is set to conclude on June 18, 2032. During this period, Aboian is prohibited from participating in any capacity within the sport. This includes taking part in, training at or attending tennis events, encompassing tournaments sanctioned by the ATP, WTA, ITF, and the Grand Slams.

Financial Penalties

In addition to the lengthy suspension, Aboian is required to pay a fine of $40,000, with $25,000 of that amount being suspended.

This case underscores the ITIA’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of professional tennis. The significant penalty handed down to Aboian serves as a strong deterrent to others who might consider compromising the fairness of the sport.
