Biography

Career

Kumantsov, who won a total of 16 Futures titles, made the main draw of two ATP Tour tournaments, both times as a qualifier. At the 2011 Open 13 in Marseille he was beaten in the first round by Nicolas Mahut, then at the 2012 St. Petersburg Open he retired hurt in his opening round match against Jürgen Zopp, when only one game away from losing, citing dizziness.[1][2]

Life ban

In 2014 he received a life ban from tennis following an investigation by the Tennis Integrity Unit.[3] He was found guilty of 12 charges under the tennis anti-corruption code, for a series of incidents between 2010 and 2013, all relating to betting and match fixing.[4] The ban means that Kumantsov is not eligible to participate in or attend any events that are organised or sanctioned by the governing bodies of professional tennis.[5]
