Oppressive heat brought much of the Australian Open to a standstill midway through the second day with played halted on all outside courts

“This means play continues until the end of an even number of games or the completion of a tie break. No new matches will be called to court. Play on outdoor practice courts is also suspended.”

The Australian Open’s approach to heat has developed in line with medical research on the effects of extreme heat on the body. Earlier on Tuesday, the scale reached stage four, which meant singles players are granted a 10-minute break – women between the second and third set, and men between the third and fourth set.
