The London-based Tennis Integrity Unit announced on Wednesday that it is looking into alerts over unusual betting patterns involving one match at the French Open and three at Wimbledon, two of them in the qualifying tournament at Roehampton and one in the main draw at the All England Club.
Wimbledon was marred by 10 early retirements in the men’s singles and two in the women’s, sparking debate about whether injured players were working the system by collecting their appearance fees before withdrawing with a physical ailment. 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.
