The International Tennis Federation [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/itf/] (ITF) has announced a number of measures to curb corruption in the sport. The governing body announced that it will phase out the collection of live scoring data at smaller events. Information will not be available for all World Tennis Tour (WTT) events offering prize money up to $15000, and the ITF will invest $8 million to create a comprehensive integrity infrastructure. Know More PART OF A LARGER FIGHT The fight against corruption has been gaining some strength in the recent past, and these measures are not isolated events. ITF commissioned an International Review Panel last month to address betting related issues. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1865602-39309099-1600-900-1024x576.jpg]ITF President David Haggerty David Haggerty [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/david-haggerty/], President of ITF said that they were committed to protecting the integrity of the World Tennis Tour. He was confident that the measures will deliver real benefits for the participants and reduce the corruption risk seen in 2019. ANNOUNCEMENT OF OTHER MEASURES The ITF announced several other measures to deal with corruption, including the introduction of accreditation for WTT events, video recording, increased security and better channels for reporting integrity concerns. Jenny Price, Chair of the Tennis Integrity Supervisory Board said that the recommendation had clarified the importance of official data in relation to unofficial data. Know More THE IMPACT OF IRP’S REPORT The ITF has reduced the supply of live scoring data for low-level WTT events, hence less than 3500 matches will now be available for betting. IRP’s findings led to this action. The menace of corruption is antithetical to the integrity of the sport. Thus, the measures announced by ITF are welcome changes. However, the implementation should also match the commitment shown in the announcements.

<strong>History</strong>

The sport of tennis is said to originate from the 12th century in France. However, at that time, players were using their palms to hit the ball. From the 16th century onwards, rackets began to be put in use.

But it was only from the 19th century onwards that it became a serious game. A typical tennis match consists of games. Players score 15 points to 30 points to 40 points and finally a game. In the event of 40-40, also known as a deuce, a player has to gain an advantage and win the next point to win the game.

The first to reach 6 games with a minimum gap of 2 games wins a set. However, if one player wins 6 games and the other wins 5, the leading player has to win a 7th game before his opponent. In the event of six games all, on certain occasions, a tiebreak is played until a player either reaches 6 games or wins by 2 games if both reach 6 games.

Coming to sets, there are 2 types of matches, 3-set matches and 5-set matches. In the event of the former, if a player earns 2 set wins, he or she wins the match. In the latter's case, it is a case of a player winning at least 3 sets.
