MELBOURNE: Extreme heat forced play to be halted Tuesday at about 2pm on outside courts at the Australian Open, with the roofs closed on its three main stadiums – Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena and John Cain Arena.
Thiem, a finalist at Melbourne Park and US Open champion in 2020, is on the comeback trail after a wrist injury and was able to compete only to a certain extent against the power of the rangy Russian. "We are really good friends and I know he is going through not so easy times ... and I hope he can get back to the level he belongs as fast as possible," Rublev said of the former world number three.
