The integrity of lesser tennis tourneys was a concern when I was offshore in 2001. This is nothing new. Many books who handle tennis action have added rules about making bets "no-action" if a player retires due to injury before, say, the end of the first set.

The only thing new about this story is that the book no-actioned a ton of bets after the match was complete, under circumstances that were not specifically spelled out in their rules.

...and don't let the wording of that last paragraph make you think that I disagree with how they handled it.
