The Serb made hard work of things, missing eight break points as he secured first place victory.

And he took his frustration out on his coaching team during an end change.

Djokovic tried to get the attention of his coaches by waving at them but it was to no avail.

He eventually threw his arms up in the air in frustration before shouting across to his staff.

During the first set, he kept motioning to his coaches to keep an eye on him as he struggled with Fritz.

Their closer attention clearly worked, with Djokovic scoring the “point of the tournament” with a stunning serve and volley when he came back for the second set.

It’s not the first time Djokovic has shown his emotions at the Aussie open this month.

The star experiences a love-hate relationship with the Melbourne crowd, and often has to deal with heckles.

He was told to “Get vaccinated mate” during his third round clash with Tomás Martín Etcheverry – and responded with an ace.

The comment was in reference to Djokovic refusing to get the Covid-19 jab – which prompted his deportation from Australia in 2022 and then getting banned from entering America until last year.

In Djokovic’s first round match against Dino Prižmić he let rip as he did not know about a new rule allowing fans to move between games.

Players have been getting frustrated after a bar was installed beside court 6, leading to boozed-up fans arriving at games late as they swan around from court to court.

In his second match, Djokovic clashed with a heckler and told him to “come down and say it to my face” – before Kyrgios offered to “do WWE” if it happened again.

Djokovic eventually won the match up with Fritz, taking it 7-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-3.
