TENNIS-AUS-OPEN
A spectator lies on the grass in the shade on day four of the 2014 Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne on January 16, 2014. Maria Sharapova demanded more clarity from organisers on their heat policy after surviving a brutal three-hour marathon in scorching conditions at the Australian Open. The third seed battled through a third set lasting nearly two hours to overcome Karin Knapp 6-3, 4-6, 10-8 in temperatures above 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). The conditions were so tough that organisers suspended play at the tournament midway through the third set. However, under tournament rules, Sharapova and Knapp had to finish the set before coming off. IMAGE RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - STRICTLY NO COMMERCIAL USE AFP PHOTO / SAEED KHAN
