Luis Horna, a former tennis player who now captains Peru’s Davis Cup team, has been fined $10,000 for endorsing a betting company, according to the sport’s integrity agency on Monday.

Horna agreed to the penalty, which also included a suspended six-month ban, stated the International Tennis Integrity Agency.

The ITIA explained that Horna’s agreement in 2023 to promote tennis betting went against the sport’s regulations concerning partnerships with betting firms.
