Things are getting ugly in the tennis world since there are investigations that involve top players in some nasty match fixings.
It’s now Novak Djokovic to talk admitting that a big sum has been offered to him to lose a match.
Djokovic. They offered me $200.000
According to Nole in 2006 somebody offered him $200.000 to lose in the first round in St Petersburg (eventually he didn’t even play that tournament) “I was not approached directly,” he commented. “Well … I was approached through people that were working with me at that time, that were with my team.
Of course, we threw it away right away. It didn’t even get to me, the guy that was trying to talk to me, he didn’t even get to me directly. There was nothing out of it.
Unfortunately there were some, in those times, those days, rumours, some talks, some people were going around. They were dealt with. In the last six, seven years, I haven’t heard anything similar. I personally was never approached directly, so I have nothing more to say about that.”
Nole is far too good to be involved in this kind of crap…
