Tennis match-fixing: ‘ I was not approched directly’ says Novak Djokovic

The men’s world tennis number one, Novak Djokovic, has confirmed he was approached to fix a match. Djokovic says he rejected the offer, made in 2006, immediately. The BBC and BuzzFeed News have obtained secret files that contain evidence of suspected match-fixing in tennis. Those files indicate that, over the past decade, 16 players who have been ranked in the world’s top 50 have been repeatedly flagged to the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) over suspicions they have thrown matches.
