After heat and rain delays play went late into the night on Day 4 of the 2014 Australian Open. Enjoy these pictures from selected Day 4 matches.
The Monfils v Simon match was moved to Hisense Arena at the end of the scheduled sessions, and any ticket holders were allowed in to what is usually a Tickets Only venue. That match was played with the roof closed due to rain. But when the rain stopped and play resumed on the outside courts there was literally a Tennis Smorgasborg of top players to watch; Del Potro, Simon, Cilic, Lopez, Dimitrov, Verdasco and Raonic. The huge match of night turned out to be Nick Kyrgios versus Benoit Paire, a five setter on Margaret Court Arena which had Nick cramping in the final stages, massive home crowd cheering and Benoit ultimately winning.
Let the pictures tell the story…
