Controversy has struck the Australia Open after Novak Djokovic refused to do a post-match interview after his fourth-round match win against Jiri Lehecka.

It was revealed that Novak Djokovic was offended by comments made by Channel Nine journalist Tony Jones. 

Bill McDonald said, "It wasn't smart, it was a dumb comment...And now because of Jones' bad taste in humour Djokovic refuses to be interviewed on Channel Nine."

Tony Jones has apologised for his comments.
