Andy Murray says he's "not really" surprised by a new report asserting Grand Slam champions are involved in match-fixing.

The world No. 2 said the sport is hypocritical to allow betting companies to sponsor pro tournaments, while preventing players from accepting sponsorships from bookmakers.

Federer: Name Names of Match-Fixers

The Australian Open made history as the first Grand Slam tournament to partner with a betting company, William Hill, which signed on as Australian Open sponsor last fall.

The four-time Australian Open finalist said it's hypocritical for tournaments to accept sponsorship money from bookmakers.

"Yeah, I'm not really pro that, I don't think. I think it's a little bit hypocritical, really," Murray said after sweeping Alexander Zverev, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, in the Australian Open first round. "You know, because I don't believe the players are allowed to be sponsored by betting companies but then the tournaments are. I don't really understand how it all works. I think it's a bit strange."

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic revealed he was indirectly offered $200,00 to throw a match in St. Petersburg.

Murray, who said he's never been approached to fix a match, believes the game's governing bodies must educate young players about the dangers of corruption and the threat to the competitive integrity of the game.

"I have not spoken to loads of, you know, other players about it, but I have been aware of it since I was quite young," Murray said. "I think when people come with those sums of money when you're that age,  I think sometimes people can make mistakes. I do think it's important that from a younger age players are better educated and are made more aware of what they should do in those situations and how a decision like that can affect your career, can affect the whole sport.

"I think across all sports—again, I don't think that that's done particularly well. You know, I think you should be learning about those things from 15, 16, 17 years old and being warned about it. Because, you know, when you come on the tour, you know, or even if it happens at futures level and challenger level, as well, that players need to be educated and have the right people to support them in those situations, I think."
