MOSCOW, Aug 16 Russian tennis player Yana Sizikova shares details of police interrogation in France after suspicions of match-fixing. In October 2020, French prosecutors launched an investigation into a suspicious match involving Sizikova. The meeting was held in the framework of the «Roland Garros» in the same year. In the first round of doubles, the Russian woman and the American Brengle played against the Romanian Mitu and Zig. Sizikova and her partner lost the match. The police were interested in one of the games, during which the Russian woman made two double faults. It was noted that at that moment a large number of bets for several hundred thousand euros were accepted for the victory of the Romanians. Sizikova was suspected of fraud and was detained on June 3, 2021 in Paris, but a day later she was released at the police station without charge. I also want to know what exactly happened there. They didn’t show anything, didn’t show, didn’t explain. They held me for 24 hours. Then they said that it was just a conversation. It was a police station, an office, they communicated with me quite well, there were no problems. But, yes, I spent the night in the cell. I was in complete prostration, «the tennis player said in an interview with the Championship. Sizikova is 27 years old. She has been performing professionally since 2010. The tennis player specializes in doubles. She has two WTA titles and 44 ITF trophies to her credit. In singles, the Russian has won three ITF tournaments.
