Four Players Suspended for Match-Fixing, Including Two Frenchmen

The International Tennis Integrity Agency announced this Wednesday the suspension of four players for match-fixing, violating the anti-corruption program.

Those involved are Natthasith Kunsuwan, Christian Lindell (ranked 177th in July 2015), and two French players: Samuel Bensoussan and Jaimee Floyd Angele.

The latter had been provisionally suspended in September 2024. He appealed immediately, but his appeal was rejected.

According to the ITIA, he "admitted to arranging a match in exchange for payment in 2022, failing to cooperate with an ITIA investigation, and destroying evidence," as reported by *L’Équipe*. He received a suspension of 5 years and 3 months, along with a $10,000 fine.

As for Bensoussan, he was found guilty of fixing four matches and "involved in a criminal case linked to a match-fixing syndicate in Belgium." He was fined $12,000.

He had become a coach within the French Tennis Federation (FFT) and notably worked with Loïs Boisson in 2023.
