Andy Murray has retracted his statement that match fixing is rampant in the sport but we are still waiting to hear the news on Nikolay Davydenko, world number 4. In case you hadn't heard, he was playing a no name in the first round of a small Polish tourney and AFTER he won the first set, 7 million dollars was bet on him to lose. And guess what, he quit in the third. He has been questioned and the ATP has announced it will need another month to investigate. Personally, I think he's guilty as hell despite his denials. Davydenko in the past has shown nothing but contempt for the ATP and its tournaments and is very money motivated which is why he plays week in and week out. He's the major culprit in this scandal, no one else and once he's held accountable, I think we'll hear the end of this match fixing fiasco.

Yes, I've heard a little bit about it, but not any word yet about it being fully brought out in to the open other than that one of the top players is being held in suspicion right now as of last I heard.

It is all rumors.I feel tennis is one sport in which
fixing is yet to make its appearance.I hope this clean and unsullied sport which continues to give joy and thrills to fans remains pristine as ever.At top levels the prize moneys are so
large that champs are not likely to be swayed by bribes.At least it is hoped so.If at all it does happen another wonderful sport will die.
