Australian Open drama as matches suspended with Cam Norrie sent away
Rain forces officials to suspend Norrie's second‑round match at Melbourne Park.
At Melbourne Park on 21 January 2026, British star Cameron Norrie was leading Emilio Nava in the Australian Open’s second‑round when a sudden shower forced officials to suspend play. The match, originally slated to finish at 15 : 00 AEST, was halted at 11 : 00 due to a torrential downpour that exceeded 12 mm in 10 minutes, according to local meteorological reports. Norrie, who entered the tournament as the world‑number 8, had already posted an 6‑4, 6‑3 lead. While the event postponed, officials announced he would return at 20 : 00, but Norrie and the ATP later voiced concerns over the delay. The incident underscores Melbourne’s infamous weather volatility and has prompted a review of future backup protocols.
