Dylan Alcott couldn’t wait to have a beer after his retiring match at the Australian Open, cheekily conducting an interview with his water bottle full of the frothy stuff.

The 31-year-old was seen sipping out of the clear bottle he’d poured two beers in while discussing his wheelchair singles final loss with Channel Nine presenters on Thursday afternoon.

Alcott had gone down to Dutchman Sam Schröder on Thursday afternoon, losing in straight sets 7-5, 6-0.

The Aussie champ who was on Tuesday awarded Australian of the Year for his role in advocating for those with disabilities thanked those watching on from home and supporting him in his incredible career.
