Melbourne, Jan 21:
Former world number one Lleyton Hewitt slammed match-fixing allegations as an “absolute farce” on Thursday as his emotional retirement at the Australian Open was tainted by the corruption claims which have rocked tennis.
Hewitt, after going down fighting to David Ferrer at his farewell tournament, rounded on an anonymous online blog linking his name to the explosive report which has overshadowed the year’s first Grand Slam.
The 34-year-old Australian called it a “joke” and an “absolute farce” that he should be linked with the match- fixing allegations outlined by the original BBC and BuzzFeed report, which did not reveal any names.(PTI)
