World number one Novak Djokovic has rubbished reports suggesting that he could have thrown a match at the Paris Masters in 2007.

The topic of match-fixing at the highest level of tennis was brought up last week when reports emerged suggesting that evidence had been uncovered of suspected corruption in the sport.

Italian newspaper Tuttosport earlier today featured allegations of suspicion surrounding a loss Djokovic suffered to Fabrice Santoro in the second round of the 2007 Paris Masters, but the 10-time Grand Slam champion has strenuously denied the claims.

"It's not true. I've lost that match. I don't know if you're trying to 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," he told reporters.

"Anybody can create a story about any match. That's my point. There haven't been too many matches where top players have lost in the last decade or so in early rounds.

"You can pick any match that you like that the top player lost and just create a story out of it. I think it's not supported by any kind of proof, any evidence, any facts. It's just speculation. So I don't think there is a story about it."

Djokovic revealed earlier this week that he was once offered a six-figure sum to lose a match, but turned it down.
