The French Open is currently running in Paris. The Grand Slam tournament is one of the most important in the tennis world. It now emerged that a women’s doubles match could have been rigged.
In Paris, the tennis elite fights at theFrench Open currently about to move into the second round. But the high-quality competition could now get a damper. As the “Welt” reports, a women’s double from September 30th is suspected of being manipulated.
The focus is therefore on the match between the Romanians Andreea Mitu and Patricia Maria Tig and the duo of the American Madison Brengle and the Russian Yana Sizikova. It’s about the second sentence. Two double mistakes by the Russian Sizikova had already caught the eye of viewers.
I was told by several sources that many bookmakers issued alerts for abnormal betting in Sizikova/Brengle match at Roland Garros, Set 2 Game 5, Sizikova on serve to get broken. She got broken to love. This is the video of the game (thanks to @UnArdeal for finding the video). pic.twitter.com/OPSO6hBjJj
