Australian Open chief Craig Tiley says he is considering a change to how the tournament is run next year after the event was over-shadowed several ugly off-court incidents.

The newly crowned Australian Open champion is focusing on achieving a rare feat in tennis not the prospect he may be forced off the court this year.

The ‘Happy Slam’ was marred by a series of episodes involving rowdy spectators or ‘unpleasant’ behaviour.

‘I don’t want to end my career as the best player of all time to never win a grand slam.’

Jannik Sinner is being feted now but could be wiped from tennis in a matter of weeks.

Do I wish Nick Kyrgios tried more? Of course I do. But does it matter he doesn’t? Absolutely not, writes Georgie Parker.

A shattered and teary Alexander Zverev was left with a lasting message from the man who crushed his dream.

Just as Alexander Zverev was about to make his speech, the entire stadium’s attention was directed elsewhere.

Jannik Sinner has claimed back-to-back Australian Open titles after dispatching world No.2 Alexander Zverev in straight sets to complete a dominant tournament for the world No.1.

Minutes after Jannik Sinner won his third Grand Slam he shared a warm moment with the man he defeated to win the Australian Open, who has now lost three Grand Slam finals without claiming one himself.

The world No.1 had a moment of freakish luck but otherwise looked bullet-proof in a ‘dominating performance’.

Fresh off being named Australian of the Year, the AFL legend was on court at Rod Laver Arena.

The 10-time champion had one last message for his critics before leaving the country.

Aryna Sabalenka has revealed why she took out her frustrations on her racquet in an ugly post-script to Madison Key’s watershed title win.

The world No.1 destroyed her racquet, shed some tears and then had the crowd in hysterics.
