An investigation into the possibility that a match at Wimbledon was subject to match-fixing is not connected to any of the retirements that took place during the tournament. However it is understood the alerts were not raised by any suspicions about those injuries, while no British players are thought to be under investigation. It receives information about possible match-fixing from betting companies and regulators monitoring betting patterns during matches and is obliged to investigate whenever a red flag is raised. Three were on the men’s ATP Tour, one on the women’s WTA Tour and five on the ITF women’s circuit. Where analysis of a match alert does suggest corrupt activity, the TIU’s next step is to conduct a full investigation.
