Tennis: US Open women's match in betting alert
New York, Sep 7 (AFP)
The US Open first round match between Russia's Vitalia Diatchenko and Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland is under investigation for suspicious betting patterns, it was confirmed today.
The Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) said that a match alert for the August 30 encounter had been received from betting organisations.
"The TIU will assess, make a judgement and take appropriate action on the alert information received and obtained for the first round singles match between Vitalia Diatchenko and Timea Bacsinszky played at the US Open on 30th August," a spokesman said in a statement.
Bacsinszky, the 15th seed, won the match 6-1, 6-1 against the world number 87 from Russia.
The TIU insisted that the setting up of an investigation does not automatically indicate corruption.
