World number one Novak Djokovic was offered £110,000 to fix a game in 2006

Investigation alleges that a core group of 16 players have repeatedly been brought to the attention of the sport’s governing body over suspicions of match-fixing, writes Tom Allnutt

World number one Novak Djokovic says that he felt “terrible” when he was offered money to fix a match in 2006 and has denounced the practice as a “crime in sport”.

Djokovic instantly rejected the bribe made to him 10 years ago and insists he is unaware of any match-fixing currently happening at the top level of the game.
