There is so much talk about match-fixing and thing are really “cloudy”.
Few days ago an irritated Roger Federer said that he wants to know the names of these cheaters and Rafa agrees with that.
Nadal. I was unaware it was happening on the ATP tour…
During a recent interview Rafa commented “I am very honest, I speak from my point of view that is the ignorance.
On the ATP Tour I have never heard that something was happening, nor I saw, nor in my life anyone contacted me, I have no info about what’s happening. I heard that in the minor tournaments, like Challenger and Futures, there are people that do that. I hear, but I do not know. Talking about things you don’t know is complicated.“
… we need the real names.
Then he added “People who investigated all of this, I don’t criticize them, nor I accuse nor I think they are right, but you’ve to give real names.
You cannot say Grand Slam champions. What are we talking about? singles players? doubles ones? Mixed? First of all it. Then, in the last 10 years there were six or seven Slam winners.
I tell you this straight: on the Tour it’s impossible that a Grand Slam champion fixed a match. If people fix matches in Challenger, Futures or on the professional Tour, thing that I do not see despite I play every week, the solution is that ATP pursues and sanctions them properly. This is what I expect and what I desire”.
