The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) today confirms that German tennis player Mina Hodzic has been suspended for three months for a breach of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP).
Hodzic was previously warned by the ITIA about receiving coaching from Jordi Marse-Vidri, a former tennis player serving a 15-year TACP suspension due to end in 2035.
However, in October 2024, Hodzic participated in a practice session with Marse-Vidri at a covered event in Barcelona, Spain, in breach of Section D.1.r (prohibited association) of the TACP.
Hodzic received a three-month suspension, effective 6 March 2025, and a suspended fine of $1,000, which was not appealed by the player to an independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer.
During the period of ineligibility, which ends on 5 June 2025, Hodzic is prohibited from playing in, coaching at, or attending any tennis event authorised or sanctioned by the members of the ITIA (ATP, ITF, WTA, Tennis Australia, Fédération Française de Tennis, Wimbledon and USTA) or any national association.
The ITIA is an independent body established by its tennis members to promote, encourage, enhance, and safeguard the integrity of their professional tennis events.
