Wimbledon's final day was not all about the Wimbledon final as a report from Germany accused Nikoloz Basilashvili and Aslan Karatsev of match-fixing.
The report came from German publication ZDF which named Basilashvili and Karatsev as two players suspected of match-fixing. The person under investigation currently for match-fixing is Belarussian tennis coach Yegor Yatsyk who worked with both players. The report indicates that both players participated in the scheme albeit with no proof.
They have both been in action this week and both were asked about it. Karatsev took questions only from Russian media saying:
“I haven’t heard anything about it. I don’t know what you are talking about. And should I comment on this nonsense? How many times have they written such things about me, have I ever been convicted?”
Basilashvili was quite professon in his denial of any wrongdoing releasing a statement:
"Last weekend, it came to my attention that media publications in
Germany have made mention of my name in connection with allegations of
so-called "Match Fixing." These allegations have no basis at all and I
reject them in the strongest possible terms."
He also confirmed he is taking legal action:
"I have empowered a German law firm to protect my interests and to act in every possible way to fight this extremely damaging misinformation."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
