Britain’s Dan Evans completed victory over Facundo Bagnis in the Australian Open first round after a three-hour break because of extreme heat.
Evans had taken a two-sets-to-one lead against the Argentine when the players were taken off court as temperatures topped 35C at Melbourne Park.
Cooler conditions when they returned at 5pm local time helped Evans wrap up a 6-4 4-6 6-4 6-4 win.
Evans, 32, will play French veteran Jeremy Chardy in the second round.
