The player, 765th-ranked Yana Sizikova of Russia, denied the allegations, according to her lawyer, Frederic Belot. The Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed to the AP that a “women’s international player” was in custody, but it did not identify her. The French tennis federation said it could not provide further information because the investigation is ongoing. The prosecutor’s office said the probe centred on suspicions about one match at Roland Garros last year. Sizikova was broken to love serving in the fifth game of the second set, during which she double-faulted twice.
