It is the end of pro tennis. "Maestro" has been caught paying off over a hundred male pros and fixing hundreds of matches. Some of the lower level pros sold their souls and careers for less than six hundred dollars! While primarily a european issue there are tentacles reaching into the US and no doubt other parts of the world.
This black mark will follow men's pro tennis for fifty years or more. Everybody will look down on the sport as something played by low rent guys on sleazy poorly maintained courts. Probably all of the tennis players in movies will be wearing wife beaters and ugly shorts. When we see a tennis court in a movie we will make a quick dash to the kitchen for more popcorn and get ready for the fight scene. New meaning to fore arm smashes!
Anybody reckon?
