Sofia Kenin’s ex boyfriend/coach Max Wenders banned for match fixing

Dutch coach Max Wenders, known for working with a number of WTA players, has been banned from tennis for 12 years after admitting multiple match fixing charges.

The 26-year-old Wenders got in the spotlight last year, when the 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin made public their relationship. At the time he was her coach, as she had stopped working with her father Alexander.

After publicly saying “I love you” to Wenders through an Instagram story, Kenin has been largely silent about this seemingly unstable relationship which has apparently ended so far.
