Doubles titlists suspended for betting on matches
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Doubles specialists Frantisek Cermak and Michal Mertinak, both coming off tournament titles, were suspended Monday by the ATP for betting on tennis matches.
Neither player wagered on his own matches, and an independent hearing officer found no evidence of any intent to affect the outcome of matches bet upon, the governing body of men’s tennis said.
Cermak, a Czech ranked 34th in doubles, was suspended for 10 weeks beginning Monday and fined $15,000. He’s ranked 34th in doubles and teamed with Rogier Wassen to win the doubles title Sunday at the Dutch Open.
Mertinak, a Slovak ranked 37th in doubles, was suspended for two weeks and fined $3,000.
