Davydenko volley for Murray

Nikolay Davydenko has hit back at Andy Murray for claiming everyone in the sport knows about corruption.

Earlier this week the British number one voiced his opinion on the subject of match-fixing, saying: "It's pretty disappointing for all the players but everyone knows it goes on."

However, Davydenko, who is at the centre of an ATP tour investigation into a match two months ago involving himself and Argentinian player Martin Vassallo Arguello where suspicious betting patterns emerged, has responded angrily.

"If Murray says that he knows, that means that he gambles himself because people who start talking out loud have their fears disappear," said Davydenko after reaching the quarter-finals of the Kremlin Cup.

"And they know that if they speak out loud it means that they are free, they have not done it.

"It was folly of him to say this."
