  • Cameron Norrie was on the brink of victory when rain intervened at the Australian Open on Wednesday.
  • The Brit was facing America’s Emilio Nava in the second round as he looked to book his place in the last 32.
  • Norrie took the opening two sets 6-1, 7-6 to close in on victory, but was pegged back as Nava won the third set 6-4.
  • The fourth set went to a tie-break which Norrie led 4-3 before the umpire called a halt to proceedings as rain began to fall.
  • Norrie still needs three more points to secure victory when play gets back underway.
