including Wimbledon. Betting syndicates in Russia and Sicily conspired to fix matches. Watchdog organization within the sport looked the other way when presented with evidence. Players implicated are still playing, some scheduled to compete in this week's Australian Open.

I know very little about tennis but this isn't suprising. I am sure low level pros aren't making a lot of money and it seems like an easy sport to toss a match with out making it obvious

Been known for years. Tennis is one of the easiest sports to manipulate

From a guy that played a little on the tour, trust me this is prevalent. Tennis players don't make shite for money so it is extremely tempting to take money. Imagine if you had nba players only making 75k a year. They would take payouts to fix games too

Also tennis has one of the lowest career life spans in sports.

Well clearly someone does or they wouldn't be betting on it.
