The court was told on Wednesday that a match Frost had played in Victoria had attracted “a number of suspicious bets.”

The 28-year-old Frost’s highest world ranking was 651.

The charges came after a continuing investigation into a Challenger tournament in Traralgon, Victoria, where 2016 Australian Open junior boys’ champion Oliver Anderson, 19, was also charged with match-fixing.

In May, Anderson avoided conviction after pleading guilty to the match-fixing offense. He remains under suspension by the International Tennis Federation.
