Just last month, Montcourt had reached his highest career ranking of 104 after he got through to the second round of the French Open, although he was beaten by Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic.
In August of last year, Montcourt had been given an eight-week ban and a fine of £7,420 for betting on matches, however, the Court of Arbitration for Sport decided to lower his ban from eight to five weeks after an appeal was launched.
