Channel Nine star Tony Jones doesn't even get through 20 minutes of Australian Open coverage before tennis greats make him the butt of a hilarious joke

Channel Nine star Tony Jones has copped a hilarious serve from his cohosts while covering the Australian Open from Melbourne Park. The veteran sports reporter, 63, has been with Nine News Melbourne since the mid -'80s, covering AFL, cricket and the Olympics - occasionally making headlines for the wrong reasons.

The expert commentator was hosting The Morning Serve on Monday alongside Aussie tennis greats Dylan Alcott, Todd Woodbridge and Alicia Molik, when he took exception to how loud his co-hosts were being. 'Why is everybody yelling at me?' he asked. Woodbridge hit back with a savage reply.

'Maybe your hearing aid is up a bit too high,' he quipped. Channel Nine star Tony Jones has been roasted during Australian Open broadcast. Jones laughed at the cheeky joke from Todd Woodbridge on Monday morning. Jones saw the funny side and so did the rest of the panel, with Alcott patting Woodbridge on the back for the remark.
During the 2023 event, Jones roasted Woodbridge for wearing a bright pink shirt. 'All I'm trying to do is lift Tony's mood and brighten up the day,' explained Woodbridge. 'He comes in in the morning, so down, so low - and I'm going to lift him up.'. At the Olympics last year, Aussie golden girl Nina Kennedy hit Jones with a hilarious comment that was sure to have left him furious.
