Russian tennis player Tuayeva was suspended until 2029 for match-fixing

The International Agency for Tennis Integrity (ITIA) has suspended Russian tennis player Alana Tuayeva for three years and nine months for violating an anti-corruption program. This was announced on March 10 on the organization's website.

"Tuayeva has admitted all the ITIA charges, including involvement in match—fixing at the ITF World Tennis Tour level in 2023 and 2024," the publication says.

The organization clarified that the athlete agreed with the charges and accepted the sanctions. She also refused to have the case heard by an independent anti-corruption body.

The temporary suspension of the tennis player has been in effect since December 19, 2025 and will end on September 18, 2029, subject to payment of the fines imposed. During this period, Tuayeva will not be able to participate in any tennis tournament or event hosted or sanctioned by ITIA members.

Alana Tuayeva is 26 years old. In September 2025, she was ranked 1282nd in the singles world rankings, the best result of her career.
