"I've heard of Futures matches being lost on purpose, but since I haven't seen one such match myself, I'll reserve my comments on that," Jaidip told mid-day in the wake of reports of widespread corruption in the sport. "But, then, why would top players risk so much for money when they make so much of it anyway?" added the former Davis Cup captain.
