Heavy rain has interrupted evening play Wednesday at the Australian Open, with the Melbourne downpour keeping Cameron Norrie in particular on his toes.
Briton Norrie was three points from victory in the fourth-set tie-break against Emilio Nava at 6-1, 7-6(3), 4-7, 6-6 (4/3) on Court 7 when the heavens opened.
Three other men’s singles matches were also suspended on courts with a retractable roof, with play in those clashes set to resume once the courts have dried.
