The Tennis Integrity Unit is the organisation responsible for investigating corruption and match fixing in professional tennis. It has the ability to impose fines and sanctions, and ban players, umpires, and other tennis officials from participating in tournaments.[1][2]

The organisation is an initiative from the ITF, ATP, WTA, and the four Grand Slam tournaments (the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open). It was set up after an investigation into allegations of match fixing in 2008.[3]
