Novak Djokovic declined to do a customary postmatch TV interview at the Australian Open after his win Sunday night to protest comments made on air by someone who works for the official broadcaster of the tournament in the host country.

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.

Novak Djokovic set up a blockbuster Australian Open quarter-final against Carlos Alcaraz but refused to do a post-match interview because of a row with the host broadcaster.
