Tumaini Carayol is at Melbourne Park to report on defending men’s singles champion Jannik Sinner’s testing victory over world No 85 Eliot Spizzirri.
Summary
Thank you for joining me this afternoon. It had been a pretty routine grand slam opening week up until today, but that all changed with a defining third round match and the implementation of the Extreme Heat Policy.
There will be a separate liveblog open for this evening’s action, headlined by Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, and Naomi Osaka.
That will be coming to you from frigid London, but from scorching Melbourne, it’s goodbye for now.
