Djokovic denies Leryn Franco link

Novak Djokovic has so many female admirers left they might be glad he is still on the singles circuit. Djokovic shot down rumours of a romance with a fellow Olympic competitor, javelin thrower Leryn Franco of Paraguay. A variety of sources including USA Network coverage of the US Open picked up the story and Franco was also said to be in New York during the US Open. "Yes, I’ve heard that this has been the main subject in the papers, and I’ve heard that even they showed it on the TV when I played my first match, so I’m denying this, and I’m saying that we don’t have a romance like people call it already. I even heard that she’s here, so it’s kind of strange, because I would be the first to know, probably. Yeah, the papers are probably trying to make another scandal of it, you know. Another romance. This is part of my life, and I have to accept it like this, but we know each other, that’s true, and we met, and then she came to watch my matches, but there is nothing more than friendship," he said.
