Only a couple of weeks ago I wrote another article<\/a> about match-fixing in tennis, saying that this issue has not stopped at all. I now felt the need of writing another one because in last few days I noticed many suspicious matches: we are passing from a couple of matches per day to almost ten daily during early rounds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First of all, it has become obvious for players and arrangers that the risk of being caught is very close to zero<\/strong> if they pay attention not to leave any clue on their phone, laptop, or bank account.<\/p>\n

Match-fixing in Tennis: a Plague That may be Getting Worse<\/h2>\n

Especially in Morocco<\/strong> (where this week they are playing the third Futures tournament in a row), the situation appears very suspicious\u00a0with at least a couple of matches ssupect for fixing\u00a0per day in the early rounds of singles and doubles.<\/p>\n

Here below a few examples from Morocco ITFs.<\/p>\n

We had different types of possible fixing: heavy favourites that sold sets and heavy underdogs that sold the only thing the could\u2013losing a set by precisely an 0-6 score.<\/p>\n

These ITFs in Morocco are a big mess, a lot of suspicious matches: Bet365 removed set winner odds, Ahouda 1.4 pre pic.twitter.com\/qKUUBzWzGF<\/a><\/p>\n
