Novak Djokovic denies 'cheating' claims
In tennis,
World number one Novak Djokovic has denied claims of receiving illegal coaching during his matches.
On the eve of his Wimbledon title defense, Djokovic is facing questions over reported comments made by coach Boris Becker, who suggested that he and the other backroom staff have ways of signaling to the Serbian.
ATP rules specifically forbid any kind of communication between a player and a coach, but Djokovic was quick to defend himself against allegations of cheating.
Djokovic, who opens on Centre Court Monday against Philipp Kohlschreiber, ridiculed the notion that Becker or any of his team could make overt signals to him.
But he revealed that there were more subtle ways for coaches to get their message across.
