I was sat by a bloke during the Federer/Tipsarevic match and as soon as the toss was made he left and somehow made a bet on the score in the 1st set.
He lost as it went to a tie-break but he bet for a 6-3/6-4 depending on who won the toss.
That makes sense. I don't suppose you can stop people doing that. |

I wouldn't of thought so. My guess is he made a bet via phone about 30 seconds after the live toss. |

Actually thinking about it, he probably made the call has he was walking out of Rod Laver so it was just a few seconds after the toss.

That's not exactly cheating really. It's just getting better odds.

We are the champions but friends?

Em, good luck then although I thought it would be better if he preserved his health for the clay-court season.  |

$500,000 is going to hurt big time for someone who only plays Challengers  |

I saw it on the news. Although they started the report by saying "Hingis who was been from the game after being tested positive for coccaine is playing at the Liverpool exhibition this year ...." What a way to advertise it  |

Well well - I hadn't realised there was going to be a clash ......... think you are right, more people will do the same. The US Open is always at the end of August and into the beginning of September taking in Labor Day - the players would hardly have a chance to get back from China and get over their jet lag and get some practise in etc .......
