Strange Betting Patterns at Newport Tournament Investigated
The anti-corruption tennis integrity unit has been called into investigate the possibility of a betting scandal at the Campbell's Hall of Fame Championships in Newport, Rhode Island.
More than $1 million pounds in bets were placed during a match between Richard Bloomfield, the 552nd ranked player in the world and Christophe Rochus, currently ranked 160th in the world.
Despite his low ranking, Bloomfield took out Rochus 7-6, 6-3 to advance to the second round earlier this week.
My two questions are - who in their right mind would ever place money on a match between two players of this caliber and who came up with the name 'anti-corruption tennis integrity unit'?
