Bernard Tomic fined 45k for tanking match

[slayer14]

He lost in 58 minutes against Tsonga and the Atp have accused him of not trying.

[leetreaper]

That bitch clown should be banned for life for all the games he tanked...

[lonegambler23]

good. fade tonic. should be suspended for a year. he already admitted he didnt even want to play in press conference.

[jjgold]

Just suspend him one year teaching him a lesson

[cincinnatikid513]

that' pretty impressive 3 sets in 58 mins, wonder what longest rally in match was 4

[Otters27]

That's what scares me about tennis. Tomic pretty high profile

[leetreaper]

Ha?

only beause leyton hewitt touched him in the tennis camp

[clockwise1965]

Good. The fine was deserved.

[2daBank]

At least he stayed out there and took his ass whipping and didn’t quit in middle of match like half these pussies do.

[pavyracer]

He had the shits and the ref didn't allow him to go to the bathroom. I would have tanked too if I had diarhhea and the ref was an asshole.

Lmao. I woulda walked the fukk off the court and took a shit!! Then came back and punched ref in mouth!! Short of that I damn sure wouldn’t beem doing much hustling after the ball! Lol

[DavidGoliath5003]

I have a feeling he was hung over... who dosnt try at wimbeldon? Unless he agreed to toss it for money

[MiDNiTe]

They should fine Sharapova for retiring 5-0 last set but they don't have the balls to do it high profile player

[gojetsgomoxies]

can't believe i'd defend this joker... but didn't he win 4 games in the last set?

is there video of the match?

i saw a video of an exhibition match between kyrgios/tomic that people groused about. while it wasn't 2008 nadal/federer it didn't seem that awful either.

any thoughts on kyrgios hitting at nadal? seemed like he was far away from nadal and that's what you are supposed to do. definitely if you don't like the passing opportunity, hit it right at the center of the player. this happens probably every few points in doubles.

[kidcudi92]

45k

[Cuse0323]

That’s like $20 for him.

[Poisec]

That’s like $20 for him.

Still sucks though, 45k was his total prize money, means he played the tournament for nothing, he is motivated only by money so won't be too happy about that.

yep hilarious that Nike dropped Tomic after Wimbledon two years ago, yet kept Sharapova despite the doping scandal.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

That's what scares me about tennis. Tomic pretty high profile

Otters, google "Irakli Labadze". Tennis a very suspect betting sport...except for the very top-end.

Also, google Davydenko. I'm convinced the Russian mob threatened his family + pressured into him tanking a match.

I actually think the TWO SET betting rule is in place to avoid phony retirements similar to Davydenko's.

Unfortunately not every book offers that rule and during Slams when many aren't familiar with tennis betting but give it a try, they don't know to look at the rules. Sooooo many dodgy matches!

[Poisec]

Lol Golubev, the most obvious.

[MrSink]

Do not want to exagerate but cannot say less than fck clown and loser . Imo penalty is too soft

[MrSink]

There was one game in Poland in final he won 1st set easilly and odds skyrocketed to +900 . Then he just stopped playing and books recorded chunks of money placed on his opponnent . Minor tournament so prize pool was not too big

[slayer14]

Should they really publish that list without any valid proof

[dhristov211]

That’s like $20 for him.

is it? he's not zverev or bouchard

[Cuse0323]

is it? he's not zverev or bouchard

Yeah true, maybe like $500.

[moojoo]

Should they really publish that list without any valid proof

Its not official,so guy who wrote article could be putting his opinion there. Most of them should be banned from tennis.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Very interesting. I've tried to bet Tennis seriously at least 3x. In the end, I wind up failing miserably.

I'm not going to BLAME dodgy matches. It might just be that I suck.

When u start reading, tho...you should be taken aback on the stuff going on in Tennis. Read the Fuhrer article + his friendship w/ Irakli Labadze. Read about the tour groupies hanging around the players.

At the very least, the tour groupies have an information edge. They have knowledge of who is carrying an injury.

And most likely, it's more than that. John McEnroe pointed out that MOST tennis players are not wealthy, they're just trying to get by. When u do the math on how much $$ they can make on fixing a match, don't think it doesn't happen.

[pavyracer]

If he tanked it then he had a condigency plan for the $45,000 he got fined.

He was either paid by someone a very large amount of money to lose or made bets himself using a beard.

If he didn't do all that then he can sue Wimbledon and with a good lawyer get his purse back.

really? no offense, but your comment feels like a puzzle where we have to pick out a certain amount of errors.

and yes, i think tomic could use the prize money............ he posted at one point that he's rich but the math on that would be daunting. and he spends money like crazy apparently (or he did)

[pavyracer]

I see a lot of womens matches with 2-0 6-1 6-2. Do the women get fined for tanking? Or would there be outrage if women get fined like men for tanking?

Should make it easy to win at then, just figure out who dumping!!
