Ja, hij speelt absoluut het liefst in de zon. "Save the balls" zei hij tegen de ballenkindjes toen het begon te regenen, want natte ballen zijn trage ballen en zijn spinballen stuiten dan veel minder laag op dan wanneer ze droog zijn.

Wat tof dat alle die toppers een aantal talen spreken. Nadal ook vier (Mallorcaans natuurlijk, Spaans, Engels en Italiaans).

Ik vind Zverev wel heel sportief trouwens. Alleen dat goud en die schrielbuik hoef ik niet steeds te zien.

Nicolas Kicker found guilty of match-fixing offences by independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer

Argentinian tennis player Nicolas Kicker has been found guilty of match-fixing and other offences under the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (Program).

Mr Kicker, 25, was found guilty of contriving the outcome of a match at the ATP Challenger tournament in Padova, Italy, in June 2015 and a match at the ATP Challenger tournament in Baranquilla, Colombia, in September 2015.

He was also found guilty of failing to report a corrupt approach and of not co-operating with a TIU investigation into the allegations made against him.

Independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer (AHO) Jane Mulcahy QC considered the case at a Hearing held in Miami, Florida on 20 March 2018, following an investigation by the Tennis Integrity Unit.

Having been found guilty of all charges, he will be sanctioned at a future date to be determined by AHO Mulcahy. Details of the Decision on sanctions will be made public when received.

Until that time Mr Kicker will not be granted credentials to enter or compete in any professional tennis event sanctioned by the governing bodies of tennis. The authority to withhold credentials lies with the Director of the TIU, who has the discretion to rule on matters that could affect the integrity of the sport.

Mr Kicker is currently ranked 84 in singles and has a career high of 78 achieved in June 2017.

The breaches of the Program for which he has been found guilty are:

Section D.1.d: "No Covered Person shall, directly or indirectly, contrive or attempt to contrive the outcome or any other aspect of any Event."

Section D.2.c: “For the avoidance of doubt, a failure of the Reporting Obligation by any Covered Person; and/or (ii) a failure of the duty to co-operate under Section F.2 shall constitute a Corruption Offense for all purposes of the Program.”

Section F.2.b: “All Covered Persons must co-operate fully with investigations conducted by the TIU including giving evidence at hearings, if requested. No Covered Person shall tamper with or destroy any evidence or other information related to any Corruption Offense.”

The Tennis Integrity Unit is an initiative of the Grand Slam Board, the International Tennis Federation, the ATP and the WTA, who are jointly committed to a zero tolerance approach to corruption in tennis.

Independent disciplinary Hearing finds Federico Coria guilty of tennis corruption offences

Federico Coria, the 26-year old Argentinian tennis player, has been found guilty of breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (Program).

Mr Coria failed to report a corrupt approach made to him in July 2015 offering payment to lose a set in a match at the F17 ITF Futures tournament in Sassuolo, Italy.

In August 2015 he was again approached with a financial incentive to lose a number of matches during the course of a year.

Although Mr Coria did not accept any financial incentive or take action to comply with the corrupt approaches, he failed to inform the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU), which constitutes a breach of the Program.

The player was also found to have committed a ‘technical’ breach of failing to co-operate with a TIU investigation. The cell phone supplied to the TIU for examination had been returned to its factory settings, although it was accepted this had not been done for an improper purpose.

The disciplinary Hearing into the case took place in Miami, Florida on 22 March 2018 and was adjudicated by independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer (AHO) Jane Mulcahy QC.

Having been found guilty of the charges he will be sanctioned at a future date to be determined by AHO Mulcahy. Details of the AHO’s Decision on sanctions will be made public when received.

Mr Coria is currently ranked 335 in singles and has a career high of 223 achieved in October 2017.

The breaches of the Program for which he has been found guilty are:

Section D.2.a.i: "In the event any Player is approached by any person who offers or provides any type of money, benefit or Consideration to a Player to influence the outcome or any aspect of any Event, or (ii) provide Inside Information, it shall be the Player's obligation to report such incident to the TIU as soon as possible."

Section D.2.c: "For the avoidance of doubt, a failure of the Reporting Obligation by any Covered Person… shall constitute a Corruption Offense for the purposes of the Program."

Section F.2.b: “All Covered Persons must cooperate fully with investigations conducted by the TIU including giving evidence at hearings, if requested. No Covered Person shall tamper with or destroy any evidence or other information related to any Corruption Offense.”

Gaat Federer deze week de nummer 1 positie weer pakken in Stuttgart? Zo niet, dan staat Nadal nog wel heel wat weken bovenaan.
