Novak Djokovic has denied an Italian media report he deliberately lost a match in 2007 that has been linked to a wider scandal involving alleged corruption in tennis. The 28-year-old world number one, who easily beat French teenager Quentin Halys on Wednesday to advance to the Australian Open third round, was asked about a report in Italian newspaper Tuttosport that he had deliberately lost to now-retired French player Fabrice Santoro at the Paris Masters. "It's not true," the Serb said with a shrug and shake of his head. "What it is to say? I've lost that match. "Anybody can create a story about that match or for that matter any of the matches of the top players losing in the early rounds, I think it's just absurd." "You can pick any match that you like that the top player lost and just create a story out of it."
