Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf's son Jaden hilariously reacted to his dad pulling off a mullet wig in a recent advertisement. Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka's boyfriend extended his congratulations to her for successfully defending her Australian Open title.

John McEnroe believes that Novak Djokovic deserves credit for consistently performing at the highest level in today's tennis. A 13-year-old junior tennis player was disqualified from a tournament for showing the chair umpire his middle finger.

On that note, here's a quick recap of the day's biggest headlines:


Andre Agassi & Steffi Graf's son Jaden reacts to his father donning a mullet wig

Andre Agassi recently wore a mullet wig as a nostalgic nod to his iconic hairstyle from his playing days. He was featured in a commercial for the tech company Uber while he was in Australia during the 2024 Australian Open and took to Instagram to post it.

Agassi and Steffi Graf's son Jaden then expressed his humorous take on his father donning the look, sharing a bunch of laughing emojis under the eight-time Grand Slam champion's post.


Aryna Sabalenka's boyfriend congratulates her after Australian Open title win

Aryna Sabalenka won the 2024 Australian Open on Saturday, January 27, with a commanding 6-3, 6-2 victory over China's Zheng Qinwen. The Belarusian became the first woman to defend the Melbourne Slam title since her compatriot Victoria Azarenka in 2013.

Following that, Sabalenka's boyfriend Konstantin Kolstov extended his heartiest congratulations to the tennis star. Kolstov is a former professional ice hockey player from Belarus, who played for close to 18 years. He hails from the same province as Sabalenka - Minsk.

"Congratulations again my love," Koltsov wrote via Instagram Stories.

John McEnroe thinks Novak Djokovic deserves a lot of credit for still competing at the highest level

According to John McEnroe, Novak Djokovic deserves a lot of credit for maintaining a high level of play despite his age and the increasing competition from players like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

McEnroe's comments came after the Serb lost 1-6, 2-6, 7-6(6), 3-6 to Sinner in the semifinals of the 2024 Australian Open. The defeat brought an end to Djokovic's 33-match winning streak at Melbourne Park.

"The changing of the guard - when was that going to happen? We keep waiting for it. Novak has played Sinner, [Carlos] Alcaraz, he's risen to the occasion. And he was inspired, he said, by these players," McEnroe told Eurosport.
"When I played those young kids like [Pete] Sampras and [Andre] Agassi, I was inspired to stop playing quickly, because those guys were too good, so I give Novak a lot of credit," he added.
