AUSTRALIAN tennis figure Isaac Frost has been given a world-wide suspension as tennis officials continue to investigate match fixing.

Frost, 28, has been barred - with immediate effect - from “competing in, or attending” any tournament organised or sanctioned by the governing bodies of tennis.

The ban will remain in place until the conclusion of Tennis Integrity Unit investigations into alleged breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program.

Frost has previously been sanctioned under the sport’s anti-corruption program, having been suspended between October 2013 and September 2014 for not co-operating with a TIU investigation.

Frost last month appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court, accused of facilitating a match fixing arrangement involving former junior Australian Open champion Oliver Anderson.

He was charged with several offences, including nine counts of supplying dangerous drugs and facilitating match fixing for pecuniary benefit.

Police allege Frost encouraged Anderson to participate in a match-fixing arrangement that involved him losing the first set of his first-round match at a tennis tournament in Traralgon in October, 2016.

Frost was granted bail.
