Related Topics: Match fixing, Tennis

Tennis officials are to be quizzed by MPs on Wednesday about match-fixing in the sport.

Nigel Willerton, director of the Tennis Integrity Board, and Chris Kermode, who heads the Association of Tennis Professionals, will both be questioned.

Tennis authorities are already conducting an independent review into the sport's anti-corruption practices.

It follows a BBC and BuzzFeed News investigation that uncovered suspected illegal betting in tennis.

A culture, media and sport select committee "will explore how the governing bodies of tennis address match-fixing, and any weaknesses in the governance of the game, nationally and internationally".
