LONDON (AP) — Tennis coach and former Top 10 player Mark Philippoussis has been fined $10,000 by the International Tennis Integrity Agency for breaching betting sponsorship rules.

The ITIA said Wednesday that the Australian was also given a four-month suspended ban "after receiving payment for providing a voiceover to promotional content for a gaming operator."

It said Philippoussis did not contest the charge and had fully cooperated with the investigation.

"As a sport, tennis has decided that accredited individuals should not have commercial relationships with betting companies," ITIA CEO Karen Moorhouse said. "Whilst this case is clearly not one of corruption, it is a rule that players, coaches, and others in the sport need to be aware of."

Philippoussis was runner-up to Pat Rafter at the 1998 US Open and lost to Roger Federer in the 2003 Wimbledon final. He has worked with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Aryna Sabalenka as a coach.
