Federico Luzzi (3 January 1980 – 25 October 2008) was a professional tennis player from Italy who had been ranked as high as World No. 92. Luzzi had been suspended from professional tennis in 2008 for six months after a determination was made that he had gambled on the outcome of matches over a three-year span. He was diagnosed with leukemia on a Wednesday and died four days later. While he was on suspension and awaiting the outcome of the case he studied acting in Hollywood. He screen tested and was to return to Hollywood in 2009 to begin filming two movies. The FedeLux charity was founded in his honor, searching for a cure for cancer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fedcup.com/en/news/207497.aspx )〕 ==Tennis career== The In February 2002, Luzzi attained a world ranking of 92, the highest in his career.

Accessed 25 October 2008.〕 Officials at the 2007 U.S. Open would not allow Luzzi to play while wearing a shirt with a ''Playboy'' bunny, as the logo failed a United States Tennis Association policy that only allows logos for recognized clothing manufacturers. Luzzi had worn the shirt during an opening qualifying match, but the USTA imposed the restriction before his second match, which Luzzi lost to Gabriel Trujillo-Soler of Spain.〔Staff. ("Duce on the loose this fall on South Carolina radio" ), ''The Post and Courier'', 26 August 2007. Accessed 25 October 2008.〕 In February 2008, the Association of Tennis Professionals found him guilty of wagering on the outcome of matches from May 2004 to April 2007. The ATP's Anti-Corruption Program prohibits all gambling on any form of tennis. The ATP banned Luzzi from playing for 200 days and fined him $50,000. The ATP determined that he had "wagered 273 times on 836 tennis matches", including a wager he had placed on himself to win a match, but the ATP stated that it had not uncovered any evidence that he had attempted to influence the result of any tennis match.〔Staff.
