For the second time in three days, Novak Djokovic has faced questions about match-fixing.

On Wednesday after his 6-1, 6-2, 7-6 (3), Australian Open win over Quentin Halys of France, Djokovic was asked at a media conference if reports from an Italian newspaper that "you lost on purpose" were true. Djokovic replied "It's not true."

On Monday, the BBC and BuzzFeed News published reports alleging that tennis authorities had ignored widespread evidence of match-fixing involving 16 tennis players who have ranked in the top 50 over the past decade.
