Koellerer to Appeal Ban for Match-Fixing

LAUSANNE, Switzer­land —Ten­nis player Daniel Koellerer will appeal his life­time ban for match-fixing at the high­est court in world sports next month.

The Court of Arbi­tra­tion for Sport says Koellerer will chal­lenge his sanc­tion on Nov. 28–29 against the men’s and women’s tours, Inter­na­tional Ten­nis Fed­er­a­tion and the sport’s Grand Slam Com­mit­tee. The ten­nis bod­ies col­lec­tively set up the Ten­nis Integrity Unit which banned the 28-year-old Aus­trian in May.

Koellerer was the first player to get a life ban for cor­rup­tion after being found guilty of three vio­la­tions between Octo­ber 2009 and July 2010.

His rank­ing peaked at No. 55 in Octo­ber 2009.
