Fans lose it over hilarious Rod Laver moment during Aus Open final

Rod Laver stole the show in an otherwise anti-climatic men’s final at the Australian Open.

Fans were a bit underwhelmed when the highly-anticipated showdown between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal became the most one-sided men’s final in 16 years at Melbourne Park.

However the great man Laver salvaged it for some with a hilarious moment during the match.

Watching on from the stands, the 80-year-old Aussie tennis legend decided to join in with a Mexican wave.

The look on his face was pure joy as he threw his arms into the air, sending fans into a frenzy on social media.

Laver joins fellow legends for photo with Djokovic

In the aftermath of his seventh Australian Open triumph, Djokovic posed for an incredible photo with four Aussie tennis legends.

Djokovic was pictured with Laver, Frank Sedgman, Ken Rosewall and Roy Emerson after his stunning victory.

But he later lifted the lid on how one of them wasn’t particularly happy with him.

The Serbian star, 31, usurped Emerson and Roger Federer with his seventh Melbourne crown courtesy of a 6-3 6-2 6-3 thrashing of Nadal in the final.

Djokovic later joked that Emerson was ‘p***ed’ to lose his record.

“Mr Emerson said he’s p***ed with me because I broke his record,” a smiling Djokovic told a news conference.

“It was the most beautiful, most expensive photo of the night, without a doubt, standing with those four legends.

“I’ll definitely cherish that forever.”
