I have no problem believing that there is match-fixing in tennis, especially among the non-elite ranks. However, it is still an extraordinary claim, and as such, requires extraordinary evidence. They have examined a dataset that includes match losses by 1,509 unique players. Among others, they have accused a fellow whose match results, by their own estimation, are 4.7% likely to have occurred by chance. If you're going to be involved in throwing around accusations of this magnitude, I'd like a little more rigor in the statistics. I don't know how they sleep at night.
