Abstract

Match-fixing presents a particularly great threat to the integrity of professional tennis and the online betting market has made the
landscape around match-fixing and betting extremely complicated. A number of high profile offences have occurred in recent years,
drawing worldwide attention. This has led to a series of developments in the legal landscape surrounding match-fixing which all
players and coaches should be aware of. Offences not only include fixing the final score, but fixing elements such as when aces,
breaks, or doubles occur, as well as not reporting requests to throw/fix matches.
