You should never bet on dodgy players such as Fixarevic. Tennis has a major match fixing problem you only have to look at the size of the tennis integrity blacklist to see this. What's to stop one of these fixers from throwing a set in the early rounds of a slam to a no hoper or to let the other player cover the handicap. I never touch Fixarevic matches.I saw someone laying Chardy straight sets for a large amount at way above the market price against a qualifier ranked in the 200's. Unsurprisingly Chardy lost a set and after dropping that set he ran away with the match comfortably dropping only a few games.
ferrer also did this today
add him also to this list of fixxers
dirty fixxers just can't stop fixxing matches
PS: but seriously i think that 5-set format is the reason of this. it's very hard to play at one level for such a long period of time. but of course it's easier to think that all are crooks

CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION ... WHY WOULD A GUY WHO MADE CLOSE TO £3M IN THE LAST 2 YEARS RISK FIXING A MATCH?? 2 YEARS AGO THIS WOULD HAVE HAD MORE WEIGHT BUT THE GUY IS TOP 10 HE COULD MAKE THE SAME AMOUNT THIS YEAR ALSO. IF THE THREAD WAS ABOUT FILIPO VOLANDRI U'D HAVE AN ARGUMENT
why would davydenko who has been a top 3 player and gained more than 15 million $ price money ever fix a match?
