The person suing IMG owner has claimed that he has new evidence to prove that Ted Forstmann obtained inside information from Roger Federer before betting on one of his tennis matches. 

Jim Agate, who owns the printing company suing IMG for gambling-connected tax losses, filed phone records with the court which he says prove Forstmann called Agate the night before the 2007 French Open final, and that Agate immediately called a Costa Rican betting service to place the bets. 

Agate also filed wager reports allegedly detailing the Federer bets.

Ironically, Federer lost the '07 French Open to Rafael Nadal - also an IMG client - allegedly costing Forstmann a bundle. 

All tolled, Agate claims Forstmann lost $96,000 in the days surrounding the Federer/Nadal match and Agate filed a receipt for a 96,000 dollars wire transfer to prove it, the money which Agate says Forstmann paid him for the gambling losses.

Forstmann's rep, Michael Sitrick has said that these allegations is an "absolute lie" made by a "desperate man." 

Sitrick hasn't seen the documents Agate filed, but says he wouldn't be surprised if they're phony, reports TMZ.

Federer denies giving Forstmann any inside info about the match in question.
