Rain halts Norrie’s progress in Melbourne

Britain’s Cameron Norrie looked on course to secure his place in the third round of the 2021 Australian Open before rain and bad light halted his progress in Melbourne.

Norrie had come back from a set down to lead 3-6 7-5 6-3 and 1-1 in the fourth when the match was suspended.

The Brit could face Rafael Nadal in the third round if he wins.
