LAUSANNE,
Switzerland (AP) -- Austrian tennis player Daniel Koellerer has appeared at the
Court of Arbitration for Sport to challenge his lifetime ban for attempting to
fix matches.
This
is the start of Koellerer's two-day case before the top court for international
sports. A verdict is expected early next year.
Koellerer
was the first tennis player banned for life for attempted corruption. He was
found guilty of three violations between October 2009 and July 2010.
The
ban was imposed in May by the Tennis Integrity, an anti-corruption body set up
by the men's and women's tours, the International Tennis Federation and Grand
Slam Committee.
Koellerer's
ranking peaked at No. 55 in October 2009.
