A major betting scandal has rocked the world of tennis.
On-line bookie Betfair has refused to settle wagers on a match involving the world number 4, Nikolay Davydenko after a pattern of suspicious bets were placed.
The Russian won the first set in the Poland Open with the lower ranked Argentinian Martin Vassallo Arguello 6-2.
But he lost the second 6-3 before withdrawing from the match with his opponent leading 2-1 in the third.
When the match was suspended £3,590,595 of bets had been placed - more than double the usual amount on a similar match.
