Novak Djokovic Denies Romance With Leryn Franco… Even Though She Just Happens To Be At The US Open, Too

In a we’re not going to buy it coincidence rivaled only by Barack Obama’s “surprise” appearance at end of Joe Biden’s acceptance speech, tennis ace Novak Djokovic denied claims that he and sexy Paraguayan javeliner Leryn Franco are dating. His denial happened yesterday after his US Open defeat of American Robert Kendrick (something-something, something-something), which is kind of hinky because she was recently spotted at his US Open matches. Like Obama, she must’ve been taping her Christmas special across the way (at Shea, we guess).

“I’ve heard this has been the main subject in the papers and they even showed it on the TV two days ago when I played my first match,” Djokovic said. “I’m denying this and I’m saying we don’t have a romance like people call it already. I even heard she’s here so it’s kind of strange because I would be the first to know probably.

“The papers are trying to make another scandal of it. Another romance. This is part of my life and I have to accept it like this. We know each other. That’s true. We met and then she came to watch my matches. But there is nothing more than friendship.”

Jesus, Novak, do you have a betrothed back in Serbia that you’re trying to keep this a secret from? There’s no need to act like it’s a workplace relationship that you’re trying to keep from the bosses, unless it’s some role playing-type stuff that’s going on between you two… damn, that’s what it is, isn’t it. No need to tell us, just hit a 110+ MPH serve in your next match to let us know we’re right and we’ll take it from there.
