Things will literally look a ton different at this year’s Australian Open.

Gone are the green courts, in are the all blue courts (similar to ones used at the US Open and Masters Series events like Cincinnati and Montreal/Toronto). The tournament will dedicate it’s no. 3 show court to high-profile Asian players so the tournament can “allow the Asian communities to get behind their players and broadcast that from a specific location into Asia”.

But most significant: The Open will no longer have an official betting agency at Melbourne Park, evicting Tabcorp from it’s premises. It’s further fallout from a betting scandal stemming from a July loss by 4th-ranked Nikolay Davydenko, a match where an irregular amount of money was bet on the immortal Martin Vassallo Arguello. Davydenko withdrew from the match with a foot injury.

A number of other players, including American doubles team Bob and Mike Bryan and US Open finalist Novak Djokovic, have said they’ve been offered money to throw matches in the past. In Djokovoic’s case, he claims a Russian mafia member offered him $255,000 to throw a match in St. Petersburg last year.

Perpective: The winner of this year’s tournament in St. Petersburg will make just $142,000. Can we just throw the match for Djoker?

“We have zero tolerance for gambling,” said a clearly reactive Tennis Australia Executive Steve Wood, “and we’ll be providing additional security measures during the Australian Open to monitor the environment.”

The Australian Open, blue courts and bet free, starts January 14th.
