Odesnik and Shabaz blatantly tank doubles match at Maui Challenger

Dimitar Kutrovsky and Dennis Novikov beat Wayne Odesnik and Michael Shabaz 6-4, 3-6, 10-4 in the quarterfinals of the Maui Challenger on Wednesday.

But the result was entirely irrelevant to the story.

Odesnik and Shabaz blatantly tanked, starting early in the second set and especially throughout the super-tiebreaker. An alleged hip injury to Shabaz may have been a contributing factor, but the chair umpire refused to shake hands with any of the four players after it ended. That alone is all one needs to know about the effort level–or lack thereof–from both teams.
