Recent reports have Novak Djokovic claiming that he was offered $200,000 to throw his first round match at St. Petersburg last year. He never actually ended up playing in the tournament, but the news fuels ongoing suspicions that tennis is an easy sport to fix (considering it primarily involves individuals who can intentionally lose with no real skepticism) and that fixing occurs more often than we know. Two Belgian players, Gilles Elseneer and Dick Norman, also disclosed that they too have been asked to tank. So where does it end? Who really knows, since we don't even know where it begins.
