From April 11th, El Mihdawy is banned from playing in or attending any tennis event authorized or sanctioned by any international tennis governing body or national association until the full disciplinary process is completed.

The provisional suspension was issued under section F.3 of the 2022 Tennis Anti-Corruption Program:



“The ITIA may at any time impose a Provisional Suspension on a Covered Person, including (i) before a Notice of Major Offense has been issued, (ii) before a Hearing or (iii) at any time after a Hearing but prior to the AHO’s issuance of a written Decision.”

El Mihdawy last played a Challenger event in Medellin the week of March 21st. He retired from his last three matches.
