According to reports, the BBC and Buzzfeed received a cache of documents dating back to 2007 from an anonymous group, alleging widespread suspected match-fixing at the top level of world tennis.
The BBC said that a total of 16 players from the top 50 have been repeatedly flagged to the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) over suspicions that they have thrown matches, adding that eight of them are still due to play in the Australian Open.
Meanwhile, the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) rejected claims that the evidence of match-fixing was intentionally suppressed or not being investigated thoroughly.
