Three of the flagged matches were at Wimbledon, including one in the main draw and two in qualifying. A game at the French Open was also reported, along with four at ATP or WTA tour events.

ESSA also identified 15 football matches, five basketball games and a handball and volleyball fixture.

ESSA secretary general Khalid Ali said: "Betting integrity issues continue to be a key feature of stakeholder discussions at national and international levels.”

"To that end, ESSA has been asked by the Council of Europe (CoE) to deliver a report on behalf of the private sports betting industry highlighting the challenges facing regulated operators to feed into the CoE’s ongoing efforts to ratify the match-fixing Convention and implement international standards,” Ali added.

"This important process will also feed into ESSA’s own integrity conference in London on 12 October,” Ali concluded.
