Wayne Arthurs Tiedup In Match Fixing

by Steven Finch

It has been reported that Wayne Arthurs, who retired this year, has been mentioned in reports over match fixing in international tennis.

There has been 140 matches in question over the past four years which are currently being reviewed by the ATP. Arthurs was involved in one of those matches, Wimbledon 2005 in which he defeated Filippo Volandri of Italy. Volandri who is a clay court specialist was still expected to lose to Arthurs who has some of his best results on the grass courts of Wimbledon. Arthurs did win the match  6-3 6-4 6-4.

Arthurs since has issued a statement that he had never been involved in match fixing and that the Australian public would know him well enough to believe he was never involved.
