After a sports summer rocked by a gambling scandal involving the former N.B.A. referee Tim Donaghy and a betting investigation involving a match played by the fourth-ranked men’s tennis player Nikolay Davydenko, the United States Tennis Association has hired a consulting firm to detect and monitor potential gambling activity at the United States Open.
The firm of SafirRosetti, run by Howard Safir, a former city police commissioner, has begun work at the Billie Jean King United States National Tennis Center, the site of the Open.
Besides monitoring areas throughout the grounds — included those restricted to players, their entourages and medical personnel — the firm will try to keep tabs on all betting activity surrounding the Open.
