Morigami changes her story

Akiko Morigami now says she never meant to imply that she was asked to throw a match. She says her comments were "misunderstood." Right.

What she said could only be interpreted in one way, she definitely said she was asked to throw the match. She got cold feet, and that's a shame.

I suspect someone dipped those feet in a bucket of ice.

i'm not surprised by this at all. i was shocked by her disclosure in the first place.

I wasn't surprised that Morigami both did the right thing and followed ITF rules; sadly, neither am I surprised that she felt a need to recant.
