As the NBA grapples with a betting scandal, tennis must now confront a potential gambling scam of its own. Officials on Friday were investigating suspicious betting patterns on a match involving top-seeded Nikolay Davydenko of Russia, who retired with an injury against a low-ranked opponent at an ATP tournament in Poland.
Betting? TENNIS?!? Some people have too much money on their hands.Then again, it was a
Russian player, and Russians seem to be coming up with too many ways of making money, most of them illegal.
