Sports betting (legal or illegal) has always threatened the legitimacy of all kinds of sports.
With the increasing legality of sports betting, expect to see a lot more scandals like this in all kinds of sports.

Draft Kings is one of the leading advertisers on Tennis Channel. A lot of the corruption is amongst the lesser known players in the smaller tournaments. The players ranked 100 and above can make far more throwing a match than in prize money.
LOL. Quite a few. The womenâs final at the Italian Open several weeks ago was very suspect, in my opinion. Swiatek beat Pliskova, 6-0/6-0, which is astounding for an accomplished play like Pliskova to be bagled in a 1000 event. When it was over, first thought wasâŚâŚwhat are the ODDS of that happening, then a light bulb went on.
In women's tennis I always root against the heterosexual.
