Controversial courtside ads for UK bookmaker William Hill dumped


(MENAFN) Controversial courtside ads for UK bookmaker William Hill have been dumped from next month's Australian Open tennis tournament.

In detail, Tennis Australia confirmed on Friday it would no longer offer "on-court signage" to the betting agency.

The ads were criticised in January after the BBC and BuzzFeed revealed evidence of widespread match-fixing at the top level of world tennis.

William Hill was not implicated in the match-fixing allegations.
