Australian Open match suspended as rowdy fans cause chaos and players abandon court
There were bizarre scenes at the Australian Open on Wednesday night as Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina were forced to abandon the court their match was scheduled on.
No. 29 seed Auger-Aliassime took to Court 8 to face the Spaniard. They got just seven games into the match when play was suspended so they could move over to Court 7.
Auger-Aliassime and Davidovich Fokina came out on Wednesday evening for an exciting second-round clash. But they struggle to play through the interruption of nearby fans.
Over on the adjacent Court 6, spectators were becoming louder and louder as Frenchman Arthur Cazaux took on Scot Jacob Fearnley. The atmosphere was just like a Davis Cup tie, with passionate fans from France and Britain vocally supporting their men.
