During prosecution hearings Italian tennis player Daniele Bracciali admitted that he took part in fixed matches. He and his partner Potito Starace are accused of corruption. It turned out from their Internet conversation that tennis players often sold matches. In 2007-2008 two tennis players were disqualified by the Association of Tennis Professionals for taking part in the fixed matches. In particular, Potito Starace intentionally lost to American Scoville Jenkins at Newport tournament in 2007. The last suspicious match with his participation was considered the final of Casablanca tournament in 2011, in which he lost to Spanish Pablo Andujar with 1:6, 2:6 score.
