The Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) is investigating matches at Wimbledon and the French Open for potential match fixing.
In a short statement following The Championships, the TIU said that they had received 53 alerts for potential match rigging between April and June. Of those alerts, they are investigating one match at Roland Garros and three at Wimbledon (two in qualifying, one in the main draw).

The majority of investigations will be focused on matches at ATP Challenger and ITF Futures events.
The TIU has stated that an alert is itself “not evidence of match-fixing”, and can be due to a number of factors, such as playing conditions or injuries.
In total, there have been 83 alerts in the first six months of the year, down 38 on 2016.
