Novak Djokovic won a record ninth Australian Open crown with a straight sets win over Daniil Medvedev.

Jayne Hrdlicka, Chairwoman and Board President of Tennis Australia, copped a barrage of boos during her speech.

Djokovic has previously expressed opposition to compulsory coronavirus vaccinations for tennis players.
