Daniel Garza (Latin American Spanish: [daˈnjel ˈɣaɾsa];[a] born 8 April 1985) is a Mexican professional tennis player.[2]
He participated in the Davis Cup representing Mexico eight times. His most important victory was during the 2008 Davis Cup tie against Uruguay which he won in four sets to Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas on carpet.[3] He has a Davis Cup singles record of 16-8 as well as a doubles record of 6-2 for a combined total of 22–10.
Garza made his ATP tour main draw debut (other than in Davis cup play) at the 2011 Mexican Open where he was granted a wild cart entry. He would go on to lose in the first round to compatriot Santiago González 2-6, 6–7(5–7). The following year at the 2012 Mexican Open he would repeat his wild card entry, as well as his first round exit, this time at the hands of Łukasz Kubot 1-6, 3–6. For the third consecutive year, he entered the 2013 Mexican Open via wild card, and lost in the first round to Martín Alund 6–7(7–9), 5–7. His final appearance at the tournament (and in non-Davis cup play) was at the 2015 Mexican Open given another wild card, and losing in the first round to Viktor Troicki 4-6, 3–6.
Match-fixing scandal
[edit]In October 2016, Garza was banned for six months and fined $5000 for attempting to match-fix at an ITF tournament in Casabalas, USA.[4]
Decision Later Appealed
[edit]Mexican tennis player Daniel Garza successfully appealed penalties to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in a match-fixing case.
The Tennis Integrity Unit made the ruling in April of 2017.
The 31-year-old Garza was eligible to resume his playing career immediately. The CAS awarded Garza $2,970 to help with his legal costs.
The Tennis Integrity Unit was set up by the Grand Slam Board, the International Tennis Federation, the ATP and the WTA to fight corruption in the sport.[5]
