This article examines the International Tennis Federation's disciplinary regime as it applies to on-and off-court indiscipline, in order to assess the extent to which it complies with well-accepted requirements of procedural fairness. In so doing, it draws on two recent appellate decisions of the ITF-appointed Independent Tribunal in the cases of Ilie Năstase and Marcelo Rios, both former elite professional players who were at the time of their respective transgressions appointed to positions within the Romanian Fed Cup and Chilean Davis Cup teams, respectively.
