Welcome to Monday and today's best headline award goes to The Age with a brilliant picture of Australian Open Women's Champion Elena Rybakina and that story in detail inside the print edition by Hannah Kennelly this morning. Of course print deadlines were not kind to the Men's Final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz which was played out last night and was a gripper. Guardian Australia is among the digital titles to run that story, with a picture this morning by Aaron Favila and a story by Tumaini Carayol.
Melbourne tabloid the Herald Sun also goes big on the women's champ ('RYBAKINA PAINTS THE TOWN RED') and a full length picture of Ms Rybakina on page 1 of the print edition. That story by Rebecca Williams.
Also on the Sun's front page, a story by Regan Hodge ('NEW DEZI HUNT') on yet another attempt to find alleged cop killer Dezi Freeman. Remember him? You could be forgiven for being a hit ha

Journalist and social activist Suresh Chavhanke has received an online death threat, prompting the Noida police to register a case and launch an investigation, Navbharat Times reported.
The threat, sent via a social media platform, is believed to have originated from Saudi Arabia. Police identified the sender as Waheed Khan, who allegedly issued the threat through an online message.
Following Chavhanke’s complaint, an FIR under relevant cybercrime sections was filed. Officials said efforts are underway to trace the source of the message, verify the accused’s location, and determine the motive behind the threat.
Police sources added that international technical assistance may be sought, given the crossâborder nature of the case. Authorities are also monitoring the journalist’s security concerns closely.
