(Reuters) - Japanese tennis player Junn Mitsuhashi has been banned for life and fined $50,000 (£38,764) after being found guilty of match-fixing and betting offences, the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) said on Tuesday.
Mitsuhashi, who peaked at 295 in the singles rankings in 2009, was accused of asking Joshua Chetty, a player he had coached, to approach a competitor during an International Tennis Federation (ITF) event in South Africa in November 2015.
