Maybe. But logically it makes sense. You have a situation at the lower challenger level where players have to spend a lot of money travelling around the world and on coaches etc to try and get to the higher level. The prize money they make is not enough to cover this. At the same time, tennis is a sport that attracts a lot of gambling money at the lower levels. I'd say the ratio of gambling money to player wages/prize money is probably worse at this level of tennis than anywhere else in the sporting world. This creates an environment where corruption is very tempting for a lot of players. Add to this that it's an individual sport so you only need to convince one person to throw a match. For this reason I believe it could well be true that tennis is a corrupt sport at the level where players are trying to break through into the top couple of hundred.
Hello there! Did You, by any chance watch Zverev vs Marterer at US Open? Zverev basically lost (when leading) 40-0 on opponent's serve then lost his own serve, then again lost after leading 40-0, then of course in 2.set tiebreak he did (if im not mistaken) 2 double faults. I'm just asking, as someone much less knowledgeable in this topic, tennis enthusiast and fan. I might be wrong after all, cause it's the highest level of the sport. Would really apprieciate your look on this situation
"Reports show that tennis is the most corrupt sport." Um, I don't believe this. Which reports? The cases you mention here are very minor.

A guatemalan player was recently banned similarly. Christopher Diaz
Make a video about Davydenko that you briefly mentioned.
That guy is the biggest scumbucket to not get caught, I mean just his baldness makes him look like scum.
Why the picture of Carlos?
Gaston should be banned. Bad seed all around.
You posted an Alex Vukic as one of the Belgian players. Get your stats right!
Where’s Simona Halep?
she didn't intentionally take the drugs
No, of corse she didn’t. How could I have forgotten that she denied it and we should all believe her.
