MELBOURNE, Australia — Tennis officials are expected to announce new measures to bolster the sport’s anticorruption efforts on Wednesday at the Australian Open, where one of tennis’s premier events has been overshadowed by reports of match fixing.
The leaders of tennis’s multiple governing bodies — often at cross purposes through the years — have been meeting at Melbourne Park, the site of the Australian Open, with the corruption issue considered an urgent matter.
The three men set to appear at the news conference are David Haggerty, the president of the International Tennis Federation; Chris Kermode, the chairman of the ATP Tour; and Philip Brook, the chairman of the All England Club, which stages Wimbledon.
