The alert came after 15th seed Timea Bacsinszky's 6-1 6-1
victory over Vitalia Diatchenko of Russia on Aug. 30.
"As with all cases, the TIU will assess, make a judgment and
take appropriate action on the alert information received and
obtained for the first round singles match between Vitalia
Diatchenko and Timea Bacsinszky played at the U.S. Open on 30th
August," the TIU said in a statement on Wednesday.
The TIU added that an alert on its own is not evidence of
match-fixing and there can be other reasons for unusual betting
including "incorrect odds-setting, well-informed betting, player
fitness, fatigue and form as well as playing conditions and
personal circumstances".
