Mardy Fish and Bob Bryan were fined $10,000 by International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) for breaching betting sponsorship rules. The two tennis players were also given a suspended ban for four months.

Fish and Bryan were promoting gambling operator Draft Kings on social media during the 2022 US Open. They removed the posts after objections from the ITIA. Though Fish and Bryan are retired, they were part of the 2022 Davis Cup coaching team and were subject to rules with betting sponsors.

It’s an awkward moment for tennis, which relies on betting companies for sponsorships. Draft Kings is a prominent sponsor on the Tennis Channel. Tennis Federations including the French Tennis Federation have relationships with betting companies.

Mardy Fish has had a tough few weeks. His decision to not include top doubles player Rajeev Ram in the Davis Cup team cost a key match for the US against Italy in the quarterfinals.

Emma Raducanu received an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) from King Charles for her service to tennis. The event took place at Windsor Castle.

Though 2022 was a disappointing season for Raducanu, her accomplishment of becoming the first British woman to win a grand slam since 1977 is noteworthy and is recognized as a huge feat in Britain.

Emma Raducanu had a dream run at the 2022 US Open during which she didn’t lose a single set. It was only her second grand slam tournament. She played the fewest majors in tennis history before winning a grand slam title. In 2021, she has voted the Newcomer of the Year by the WTA.
