World tennis number one Novak Djokovic has distanced himself from Andy Murray's comments about drugs use in tennis.

Becker lambasted Murray for suggesting some of his opponents may have been doping.

But despite the recent Maria Sharapova failed drugs test, Djokovic insists tennis is clean.

"I think that as long as we don't have any proof that the game is not clean then the game is clean, so I think it's that simple.

"It all comes down to anti-doping agencies and governing bodies that need to come out with the proof. As long as they don't then they're only rumours."

Novak Djokovic said he has a great relationship with Murray and he's spoken to him about the comments.
