Tennis is supposed to be a classy sport, where decade-old traditions are still present and the concept of fair-play is quintessential. However, under this rosy surface lie several stories of corruption, doping, and cheating.
In 2019, one of those stories got exposed when a trio of tennis players: Federico Coria, Nicolas Kicker, and Patricio Heras were accused of having engaged in illegal betting activities.
In this video, we cover what happened in Argentina's tennis betting scandal.

Hi I'm from Argentina. The principal problem is that, in comparasion with EU or the US, here in South America we have to travel a lot, and the economy of the region doesn't help. For us, the argentinians, we talk about the miracle of the argentinian tennis, because tennis is one of the most expensive sports in terms of travel expenses, and we're almost a poor contry. One can understand what happened here. Been afraid to no make any money or stop playing the sport you love because you run out of money...is hard. In a personal way, yesterday I dropped a tournament because the entry fee was a little to high for me and I don't have any money left. Is pretty hard to live like this, but hey, that why we always do everything a 110%. We never know when is our last chance. Great video!

Hey Mateo, I'm from Brazil and I am pretty sure that Gui, the voice behind this video, is brazilian too, just like Karue from MyTennisHQ, the main channel. We can surely relate to you guys' situation in Argentina. I myself stopped playing at juniors because the travel expenses were getting too high and there were very little relevant tournaments where I live, so yeah, it's tough. Anyways, I don't think we should sell ourselves or our dreams for shady money. If that is the case, it would be better to get a "boring" job instead of persuing the dream of playing tennis. I am sure this is not your case! Keep on playing, dude!

70' and 80': Vilas 90': Sabatini 2000': Nalbandian 2010': Del Potro 2020': I hope that in this decade Argentina will have another or several outstanding tennis players worldwide. Sebastian Baez seems to be one of those. 🇦🇷

Give some credit to Schwartzman, he’s reached top 10 and has been top for years.

The main problem in the enequality in salaries, take away some money from the top players and share it whit future and challenger level players they, already earn mor than enought for a very confortable life. It would also make the quality of the sport better as you would be giving all players the chance to reach their potential.
