MUMBAI: Alerts for suspicious betting patterns in tennis increased during the first quarter of 2020 as corruptors targeted lower level tours as the sport headed towards a shutdown due to the coronavirus outbreak, the Tennis Integrity Unit said on Wednesday.
The TIU, which is tasked with tackling corruption in the game, said it received 38 match alerts from the regulated betting industry between January and March 22, compared to 21 alerts for the same period last year. The body received 16 alerts each from the men's and women's tennis tour, run by the International Tennis Federation, while six came from the ATP challenger series.While tennis rewards top players handsomely, those in the lower echelons often struggle to make ends meet.
Georgia's Sofia Shapatava, the world's 375th ranked women's singles player, has started a petition seeking assistance from the governing bodies for lower-level professionals.
