Kukushkin just lost to a guy named Philipp Oswald. Kukushkin is ranked #58 in the world and Oswald is #344. Kuku just won an ATP event last week and then loses in his own country in a challenger event to Oswald???? Kuku wont the first set 6-0 and then lost 6-7, 5-7. Watching the end of this match looked like a fix. Kuku wasn't even trying in his return game. He returned everything out. Oswald couldn't return Kuku's serve at all and then just happens to break him with a double fault to have a chance to serve it out and win? Total shit. And of course it fukked my parlay all to hell. He was the last one I needed. Sure looked like a fix to me.

could be a fix. line increased from 1.2 to 1.28 which doesn't happen very often when u have a big fav.Comment -
Nope. Letdowns after finals are extremely common.
You can't just assume any favourite loss is a fix, else you might as well give up betting tennis.Comment -
Some players don't want to play another long tourney on back to back weeks after winning the previous one. I think Troicki tanked his next match after he won a tourney last week. They just don't want to get hurt. Very rarely if ever you see a player winning back to back tourneys on consecutive weeks.Comment -
I don't think it's just the fact that he had just played and won a tourney. This is because he won the first set 6-0. If he wanted to lose he wouldn't have won the first set, let alone 6-0. Also, this tourney is in his home country. Oswald had also lost his previous 3 matches including against another guy that was ranked #386.Comment -
Could simply have been adrenaline with the home crowd to start well and then fatigue gradually set in. Challengers are far less likely to be fixed simply because people won't be making much money off of it unless you have stats to back up a lot of money on this one? Challengers get A LOT less action because not a lot of books carry them.Comment -
5dimes max bet is 100 on challengers. Maybe euro books offer them for more money but it doesn't make sense to fix challenger if u can't get money down.Comment -
win 6-0 then drop the next two....?????....c'mon thats wta sh*tComment -
It was definitely a fix. Some people can't believe anything without hard facts, those people will never see a fix if it happens right in front of their face.
The fact of the matter is, there are Asian books who allow you to bet more than "100" dollars on challengers. That's generally where the corrupt money flows, the bottom line is they succeed in fixing games like this regularly because there is always a "legitimate" reason why a favorite would lose in such a way. "Oh he was tired" "It was the adrenaline" etc... etc... this is how the mobs make their money, they can't fix a game without deceiving general public, otherwise it's a fail.Comment
