Tennis is at the centre of a gambling investigation after an online bookmaker stopped payouts over a match involving world number four Nikolay Davydenko.
The Russian pulled out with an injury while losing 2-6 6-3 2-1 in a match to Argentine Martin Vassallo Arguello.
Bookmaker Betfair is investigating irregular betting patterns on the game.
About £3.4m had been bet before the match and during the first set - 10 times the amount typical for a match of this kind, distorting the market.
Hmm very suspect indeed.. betting is pretty corrupt these days.. i dont have a problem with people who fancy the odd flutter on a game here an there but when it goes ott it gets really messy!
