London: The Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) revealed yesterday they are investigating whether a match at this year's Wimbledon was fixed. The TIU received an alert regarding one match played at the grass-court Grand Slam in London.
Its alerts come from regulators and betting organisations, who can report matches if they notice suspicious betting patterns. The TIU said it received 96 alerts from July to September, of which two came in Grand Slams, the first at Wimbledon and the second at the US Open.

"Historically, Grand Slams receive very few alerts and in keeping with that record, only two were received; one at Wimbledon, the other at the US Open. "Both are the subject investigation," A TIU statement said. It has not given details of the Wimbledon match that is under scrutiny. The TIU's guidance states: "It is important to appreciate that an alert is not evidence of match fixing."
