This will surely make him miss the US Open, though I think Novak should take this as opportunity for him to reassess himself and somehow do enroll again in the academy.

I agree to the fact that Roger could easily be a contender on the finals but Who knows? Though I think, not only Novak could give Roger a hard time in this tournament. Let us not forget about, Murray, Nadal, Wawrenka, Nishikori and some players that really improves.

Oh I see, this puts roger Federer in a poke position for another grand slam next month. I don't see anyone stopping him really if he plays like that but Jokovic's absence makes it the more easier.

Djokovic did his medical exams and it will be 6-10 weeks minimum for recovery.
He will definitely miss US Open.

That is what we call tears of joy. Its not easy to win a trophy and the road to take there is so very bumpy. That's why when he won the trophy, he is so emotionally as if he won his first major. And yes his age is also catching up that's why he has to take a rest and skip some tournament and it payed off in the end. He is truly one of the tennis great of all time.

That movement made him cry because no one expected that Federer would go finals. Everyone predicts maximum he will reach semis because the competition is high in that tournament. But he made it, and after some bad days, he again comes to the form that is why he cried. But really we should appreciate his effort in the age of 36 he is still fit and won a big event.

The best thing about this is he's old as far as many sports are concerned. He won 8 Wimbledon titles and countless others all over the world for years and years and yet... he still cries as if it's his first one.

Ferrer came from no-where and won an ATP trophy. It is important to understand that the age has no influence on the skills. Take a look on Federrer - In the age of 36 he is showing the best tennis of his life

well its not confirmed yet , they are just analyzing the situation because the bets were unusual . I hope it will be declared as non-fixed match so that it won't spoil players career .

Congratulations to Ferrer for winning the Swedish open.

Tennis accounted for 59 percent of suspicious betting alerts recorded by the European Sport Security Association (ESSA) during the second quarter of this year, it has been revealed.

The ESSA, the international betting integrity body, said it had reported a total of 53 cases across five sports – tennis, football, basketball, handball and volleyball – to the relevant authorities for further investigation.

Thirty-one of these came in tennis, with football representing the next highest with 15 cases.

There were also five alerts in basketball and one each in handball and volleyball.

The figure for suspicious betting in the second quarter is significantly higher than the first.

The ESSA revealed in April that there had been 27 reported cases, with the second quarter number representing almost a 50 per cent increase.

There were 12 tennis alerts in the first quarter compared with 31 in the second, while football also saw an increase from four to 15.

“A betting pattern is deemed unusual or suspicious when it involves unexpected activity with atypical bet sizes or volumes that continue, even after significant price corrections have been made in order to deter such activity in the market,” ESSA’s report reads.

“A betting pattern is only confirmed as suspicious after ESSA has made detailed inquiries with all of its members to eliminate any prospect that the unusual patterns could be for legitimate reasons, such as pricing the market incorrectly.”

A number of studies on match-fixing, supported by the European Commission, are due to be published this summer.

ESSA have engaged with some of these studies, notably through the establishment of national anti-match-fixing platforms and laws.

“Betting integrity issues continue to be a key feature of stakeholder discussions at national and international levels,” ESSA secretary general Khalid Ali said.

“To that end, ESSA has been asked by the Council of Europe (CoE) to deliver a report on behalf of the private sports betting industry highlighting the challenges facing regulated operators to feed into the CoE’s ongoing efforts to ratify the match-fixing Convention and implement international standards.

“This important process will also feed into ESSA’s own integrity conference in London on 12 October.”

So if a crackpot makes a large bet, this triggers an investigation? I am sure quite a bit of betting happens under the radar as well. So trying to analyze betting patterns to identify match fixing is very difficult.

Alerts are raised in response to unusual betting patterns, which are not in and of themselves evidence of match-fixing. A number of other factors, such as playing conditions or an injury to one of the players, could account for anomalous betting patterns.
