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'?
