The prosecutor’s office said the probe centered on suspicions about one match at Roland Garros last year. It did not specify the match. German newspaper Die Welt and French sports daily L’Equipe said at the time there were suspicious betting patterns in the first round of a women’s doubles match on Sept. 30.
On that day, Sizikova and partner Madison Brengle of the United States played on Court No. 10 against Romanian players Andreea Mitu and Patricia Maria Tig. Sizikova was broken to love serving in the fifth game of the second set, during which she double-faulted twice.
Le Parisien reported Friday that tens of thousands of euros (dollars) were bet with several operators in different countries on the Romanian players winning that game.
The newspaper said the 26-year-old Sizikova, who is ranked 101st in doubles, was arrested Thursday after losing in the first round of the doubles tournament at Roland Garros. The newspaper said authorities searched Sizikova’s hotel room.

Who bets on women’s tennis?
gamblers...
Tanya Harding.
Looks like a lot of testosterone on Yana?
Sports betting (legal or illegal) has always threatened the legitimacy of all kinds of sports.
With the increasing legality of sports betting, expect to see a lot more scandals like this in all kinds of sports.

I’m only surprised when I find out something is not humpbacked, crooked and a fake.
Trump must be involved some how.
Draft Kings is one of the leading advertisers on Tennis Channel. A lot of the corruption is amongst the lesser known players in the smaller tournaments. The players ranked 100 and above can make far more throwing a match than in prize money.
What a stupid post.
Without pictures we have no real opportunity to ascertain whether or not she is guilty...
Match-fixing? Is this one of those mail-order Russian Bride schemes?
Seriously not guilty. Maybe naughty and she needs a spanking though.
I’ve heard that the amount of money bet on some sports dwarfs the amount of money made and paid out by those same sports.
LOL. Quite a few. The women’s final at the Italian Open several weeks ago was very suspect, in my opinion. Swiatek beat Pliskova, 6-0/6-0, which is astounding for an accomplished play like Pliskova to be bagled in a 1000 event. When it was over, first thought was……what are the ODDS of that happening, then a light bulb went on.
This the same group that’s paying Dominic Thiem to suck?
Fixers are not gambling.
I’m gonna go with ‘not guilty’ on this one...
i know that...
i only answered someone’s question...
there’s no need to get your thong in a knot...
In women's tennis I always root against the heterosexual.
