The Tennis Integrity Unit was the organisation responsible for investigating match fixing in tennis since 2008 until 2020. It was replaced by the International Tennis Integrity Agency. It had the ability to impose fines and sanctions, and ban players, umpires, and other tennis officials from participating in tournaments.{{Cite web|title = Tennis match fixing: Evidence of suspected match fixing revealed|url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/35319202|website = BBC Sport|access-date = 24 May 2018|date=18 January 2016|first = Simon |last= Cox}}{{Cite web|title = Wimbledon given watchlist of tennis corruption suspects|url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/wimbledon/8570017/Wimbledon-given-watchlist-of-tennis-corruption-suspects.html|website = Telegraph.co.uk|access-date = 24 May 2018|date= 11 June 2011|first=Robert |last=Mendick}}

The TIU was an operationally independent arm of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and had the authority to impose fines, sanctions, and bans on players, umpires, and officials involved in corruption. It was set up after an investigation into allegations of match fixing in 2008.{{Cite web|title = Tennis authorities ignore evidence of top-ranked players fixing matches, report says|url = https://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/14590723/report-alleges-widespread-match-fixing-major-tournaments-top-ranked-players|website = ESPN.com|date = 26 January 2016|access-date = 24 May 2018}}
