I got a big shock that there was
match-fixing at professional tennis tournament. What’s 16 players in top 50th
in decade were suspiciously related ! If it were Boat race, Horse racing, Football
etc., I can accept it but why tennis?
An Australian Open is going on this week. If
Federer vs Goffin and Djokovic vs Simon were bets on match, no one
would see it.
It was not a match-fixing but temptation of money. When I
participated tennis tournament the other day, my opposition asked me to bet the
car own, He was a rich accountant and it was half joking. His car was new BMW and my car was 30
years old Mitsubishi in contrast. I hesitated to say yes as this kind of play would not suit to the
sportsmanship. Then play started and I finally won. I am ashamed to say that I regret
not to have accepted this trade even now.
