PLAY was suspended on outside courts at the Australian Open oday as temperatures soared towards a forecast 43 Celsius. The policy allows for play to be halted on outside courts if the temperature reaches 35 Celsius. It also allows for the closure of Melbourne Park's two retractable roofs covering the two main stadium courts. Play will only restart when weather conditions ease. It is the third day where the policy has been implemented. On Saturday, a distressed Michaella Krajicek became the first victim of the furnace conditions here when heat exhaustion forced the Dutch teenager to concede her third-round match.
