Britain’s Dan Evans battled to beat Argentine Facundo Bagnis in the Australian Open first round after a three-hour break because of extreme heat at Melbourne Park.
Evans had a two-sets-to-one lead when players were taken off all outside courts as temperatures reached 35C.
Cooler conditions returned at about 5pm local time and Evans wrapped up the match with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 win.
