The UK Government is to hold a hearing about claims that tennis authorities failed to take action against players suspected of corruption.
The Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is yet to decide who they will call to the select committee hearing.
It could include officials from The Lawn Tennis Association, The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATO) and The Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU).
The DCMS are examining the evidence before inviting witnesses.
The sport was rocked by allegations this week that 16 players ranked in the world top 50 over the last decade were referred to the TIU due to suspicious activity.
The TIU says the referrals were made as a result of an investigation which started in 2007 following an inquiry into suspicious betting patterns in a match between Nikolay Davydenko and Martin Vassallo Arguello, of which both men were acquitted.
Despite an increasing amount of evidence of suspicious activity revolving around a significant number of top players, no sanctions were handed out and the investigation was officially shelved the following year.
The allegations reportedly involve matches at Wimbledon and the French Open, and name winners of Grand Slam titles among the core group of suspects.
ATP Tour executive chairman Chris Kermode has rejected suggestions the issue was covered up or not been thoroughly investigated.
The allegations about tennis follow the scandal in athletics, where senior members of the IAAF are alleged to have covered up doping among Russian athletes.
MP Damian Collins, a member of the DCMS select committee, told Sky Sports News HQ: "There is a lot of concern. This is yet another sport where very serious allegations are being made.
"And at the heart of the allegations is the idea that the sport held information that it could have acted on, and in the case of tennis, should have done more to clamp down on the risk of people being involved in match-fixing."
