Unranked Thai player Jatuporn Nalamphun has been suspended for 18 months and fined $5,000 for betting on matches during the 2014 season.

The 22-year old admitted to betting on tennis matches, between July and November 2014.

Nalamphun contested, but was found guilty of a further charge of failing to co-operate with a Tennis Integrity Unit investigation.

"For this very serious charge the player received an 18 months suspension," the TIU said in a statement.

It is the latest case of corruption after a bombshell report by BBC and BuzzFeed News rocked the sport at the start of the Australian Open. BuzzFeed News reports tennis authorities were warned about 73 suspicious matches last season, which is three times more than all other sports combined.
