Djokovic backs off money remarks

World No 1 tries to clarify stand on pay equality

World No 1 Novak Djokovic on Tuesday backed off comments that men's tennis players should make more than women as Serena Williams and Andy Murray led a stinging chorus of criticism at the remarks.

A furious row over the gender pay gap in tennis erupted over the weekend when Indian Wells tournament director Raymond Moore said women should get "on their knees" to thank male players for the money in the sport.
