I was asked to fix matches: Kokkinakis

Australian young gun Thanasi Kokkinakis has revealed he has been approached to fix tennis matches.

In the wake of the release of a BBC-Buzzfeed report that alleged widespread corruption in the sport, the 19-year-old said he had been offered bribes by "randoms" on social media to lose.

"Not face-to-face, but on social media you read some stuff on your Facebook page, just these randoms from nowhere saying: 'I'll pay you this much to tank the game'," Kokkinakis told 3AW.
