Another player has come out and said they have beeen approached to throw a match. This is killing tennis' credibility.

when you think about it does make sense. Would you rather earn a fee of $3500 USD for appearance money? Or a guranteed pay day of at least $100,000 USD or more based on fixing?
Lets listen to the names: Volandri, Davydenko, Varusello Arguello, Murray, Clement, Llodra, Tipsarevic, Marat safin, yuri schukin, Dmitryi Tursunov, Melzer, Andrei Pavel, Starace, santoro and the list goes on who have had links/have come out and said it happens.
Fact is, there will never be ever any bullet proof that comes out to find that these players are fixers. Its very easy to say have 1 moment in a match, where you can turn odds around dramatically. Look at the turnover on Betfair and you will see how high volumes are bet on the Grand slams, Masters and small tournaments.
Single head to head matches are the easiest of all to fix. The thing is the 2 players could be best of buddies, and agree before hand on how they play out the game.
