Novak Djokovic blasts umpire during Australian Open Final: 'You made yourself famous!'

Novak Djokovic blasted the chair umpire as his early advantage slipped away during the Australian Open Final on Sunday morning.

The Serb moved a set in front but grew frustrated as Thiem squared it up, winning the second set 6-4 at the Rod Laver Arena.

Ahead of the third set, Djokovic sarcastically congratulated the umpire after the Serb received two time violations on his serve.

Djokovic said: "Great job man. You made yourself famous, especially with that second one. Well done."
