The major talk at the first day of the Australian Open was not the play on the court, but the scandal swirling above it.

A new report by BuzzFeed and the BBC charges "widespread match-fixing by players at the upper level of world tennis." The report charges that a collection of 16 players, all of whom have reached the world Top 50, have participated in match-fixing, and that more than half of those players are in the field this week at the Australian Open. The report did not name any names, but charged that tennis's governing bodies have repeatedly ignored evidence of match-fixing.

The BuzzFeed/BBC report relies on leaked internal documents as well as independent analysis of betting patterns around 26,000 matches, and found what the publications consider compelling evidence of match-fixing connected to organized crime syndicates in Russia and Italy. This investigation follows the 2008 revelation of alleged match-fixing at matches all over the world, a revelation that ultimately ended without any real resolution.
