A Serbian Instagram model claims she was approached with an offer of $70,000 to seduce 18-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic and film the two together in an attempt to diminish his character and attack his marriage, according to reports.
Natalija Scekic told European magazine "Svet&Scandal" that she was approached by a man she knew in regards to what she thought was a business deal.

"I am familiar with their work and they were good. When he asked me for a date, I thought it was for a business matter. However, as the conversation progressed, I saw that it had nothing to do with my life," Scekic said, via Marca.
"I thought it was a hidden camera when he told me that I had to seduce Novak and film it, but not to worry about that because he was already taking care of that," she continued. "He told me I could get about ($70,000) for that and a trip wherever I wanted. I laughed, expecting him to say it was a joke, but the man was very serious. I felt very offended and humiliated."
Scekic said she had to withhold her emotions but instantly turned down the proposition, adding that it wasn’t "fair" to Djokovic.
