The Australian Open has released a video that reveals how the champions' trophies are prepared so quickly - after recent controversy surrounding a missing detail from Aryna Sabalenka's award.
The clip posted to TikTok on Sunday evening shows what happened backstage at Melbourne Park in the moments after Novak Djokovic won his 10th Australian Open title against Stefanos Tsitsipas.

As the Serb ace claims victory, an engraver can be seen busily going to work on the Norman Brooks Challenge Cup and inscribing Djokovic's name and country of origin.
The behind-the-scenes video has been viewed more than 2 million times, and prompted many comments from tennis fans.
'Could've engraved that two weeks ago,' joked one TikTok user.
'Engrave the 2022 also. He was robbed of it,' commented another.
'@Australian Open Unban Russian flag,' said a third.
