Oliver Anderson, the 2016 Australian Open boys' champion, has been been provisionally suspended from the pro circuit as officials investigate match-fixing charges against the 18-year-old Aussie.
"The suspension applies with immediate effect and will remain in place until the conclusion of Tennis Integrity Unit investigations," the Tennis Integrity Unit said in a statement. "During this period Mr Anderson, currently ranked 1083, is excluded from competing in, or attending, any tournament or event organised or sanctioned by the governing bodies of the sport.

"The suspension is not a determination of the player’s guilt or innocence of corruption offences under the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program."
Anderson is under investigation by local police and the Sporting Intelligence Unit for allegedly fixing the opening set of a Challenger.
The alleged incident occurred during the Traralgon Challenger event in Victoria, Australia last October.
"Oliver is cooperating fully with authorities. He now awaits the legal process," a family spokesman said.
Anderson lost the first set but then went on to win the match in three sets.
