Hernán Casanova, a 32-year-old Argentine tennis player currently ranked 397th, has been suspended for two months and fined $500 for breaching the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP). The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced the suspension, highlighting that Casanova admitted to betting on matches in which he did not compete, thus violating regulations that prohibit such actions. This suspension comes as part of a broader effort to maintain integrity in professional tennis, especially at the lower levels where incidents of corruption are more prevalent.

Casanova has been a regular competitor on the Challenger and Futures circuits, having won 25 Futures titles throughout his career. While he acknowledged his betting activities between 2023 and 2025, he also failed to report an attempted bribery incident, which could have further implications for his career. The ITIA scrutiny over such violations underlines the ongoing battle against corruption in sports, particularly concerning match-fixing and betting irregularities.

This case highlights the need for players to adhere strictly to anti-corruption guidelines set forth by tennis authorities and serves as a cautionary tale for emerging players in the sport. As gambling on sports becomes more widespread, the integrity of the game depends on the vigilance of players to report any wrongdoings and adhere to the rules established to protect the sport's credibility.
