LONDON — French tennis player Leny Mitjana has been banned from the sport for 10 years for match-fixing violations. The International Tennis Integrity Agency says the sanction is linked to a criminal investigation into a match-fixing syndicate in Belgium. Mitjana, who denied the charges related to the fixing of matches in 2017 and 2018, was also fined $20,000. Mitjana reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of No. 458 in 2018.
