Flags and Wallies: Melbourne Park fans spark player anger at Australian Open

• Djokovic rails at ‘drunk’ spectator on Rod Laver Arena
• Russian player Rublev barracked by Ukraine supporters

Spectators at the Australian Open were in the spotlight on Thursday after separate incidents sparked player anger on the court at Melbourne Park.

In his second-round tie against France’s Enzo Couacaud on Rod Laver Arena, Novak Djokovic complained to the chair umpire after appearing to be barracked by a supporter, one of several dressed in a “Where’s Wally?” costume.
