French tennis player Samuel Bensoussan's match-fixing ban has been extended from one year and eleven months to three years after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed his appeal. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) confirmed the increase, which comes after an independent hearing officer had found the 34-year-old guilty of fixing four matches and linked him to a criminal match-fixing syndicate operating in Belgium. The case is part of a wider crackdown on corruption in tennis, underlining the sport's ongoing struggle with organised match-fixing at lower levels of the professional game.

Bensoussan, whose ban began in May 2025, will not be eligible to play again until May 2028, and he was also fined $12,000 (£8,880). CAS upheld all ITIA charges and noted that investigations had uncovered a criminal organisation that corrupted at least 181 players worldwide and manipulated at least 375 matches. He was sanctioned alongside three other players last year, and while he reached a career-high ranking of 405 in June 2018, he has not competed professionally since 2019.
