Norrie shrugged off an ill-timed rain delay to keep British singles hopes alive at the Australian Open.The 26th seed was already the last British player standing before he went on court to face American Emilio Nava in the second round at Melbourne Park after defeats for Emma Raducanu and qualifier Arthur Fery.
It is the third consecutive grand slam where the 30-year-old has outlasted his compatriots, and he was made to wait for his moment after play was suspended with Norrie three points away from victory in the fourth-set tiebreak.
After a delay of just less than an hour, Norrie held his nerve, winning three of the next five points to clinch a 6-1, 7-6 (3), 4-6, 7-6 (5) victory.
