Novak Djokovic chose to skip his on-court post-match interview after his Sunday third round win over Jiri Lehecka at the Australian Open, later explaining that it was because of comments made by Australian broadcaster Channel 9's Tony Jones.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion opted out of a traditional on-court interview Sunday following his fourth-round win over Czechia’s Jiri Lehecka at the Australian Open, citing “insulting and offensive comments” made toward him by a presenter for Channel 9, which broadcasts the tournament, days prior.
