Adam El Mihdawy has been banned from tennis for three-and-a-half years and fined $5,000 (£4,346) after admitting match-fixing charges.
The American, 32, was sanctioned for fixing elements of matches, receiving money for fixing and failing to report corrupt approaches in line with the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP).
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) relate the charges to an event in Mexico in 2016 where the player fixed two matches.
El Mihdawy, who had a career-high Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) ranking of 281, received an additional suspended fine of $10,000 (£8,692) if there are any further breaches of the TACP.
The ban means he cannot compete professionally again until 28 February 2026.
Meanwhile, a “devastated” Nick Kyrgios is out of the US Open after eventually being out-battled by Russia’s Karen Khachanov in a tense quarter-final in New York.
The 27-year-old Australian, who needed treatment on his left thigh after the first set, lost 7-5 4-6 7-5 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 to 27th seed Khachanov.
“I feel like I’ve let so many people down,” said Kyrgios.
Khachanov, 26, plays Norwegian fifth seed Casper Ruud, who beat 13th seed Matteo Berrettini 6-1 6-4 7-6 (7-4).
Kyrgios added: “I feel like these four tournaments are the only ones that ever are going to matter. It’s just like you’ve got to start it all again. I have to wait until the Australian Open.
“It’s just devastating, it’s heartbreaking. Not just for me, but for everyone that I know that wants me to win.
“But all credit to Karen. He’s a fighter. He’s a warrior.”
Khachanov, who trailed to Jack Draper in the third round before the Briton got injured – still has the chance to be that person after beating 23rd seed Kyrgios with a composed performance in which he saved seven of nine break points.
The world number 31 edged a tight opener when the first break point of the match went his way in the 12th game, with Kyrgios requiring treatment afterwards and saying he was struggling to walk.
But Kyrgios recovered and found top gear in the second set to level the match.
