Daniele Bracciali and Potito Starace have had their life bans for match-fixing lifted by the Italian Tennis Federation (FIT).
The pair were initially suspended for 40 days by the federation in February before being banned for life in August at the conclusion of its investigation.
However, the federation's appeal court has now cleared Starace completely and reduced Bracciali's ban to 12 months.
Bracciali's initial fine has also been reduced from 40,000 euros (£30,000) to 20,000 (£15,000).
Both players served short suspensions in 2008 for betting on matches involving other players.
Former top-30 player Starace, 34, was ranked 170th in the rankings at the time of his ban while 37-year-old Bracciali is a former top-50 player.
