Sharapova: toughest of games to get to second round
Maria Sharapova survived being sucked into a maelstrom of misery at the Australian Open on Tuesday and security was beefed up to prevent a recurrence of the ethnic clashes that tainted the opening day of the grand slam.
Officials began to postpone matches as temperatures soared over 40 degrees (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
Serbia's Ilia Bozoljac and Croatian Marin Cilic were scheduled to play a first-round match later on day two, prompting fears it could set the scene for a repeat of the ugly brawls that marred Melbourne Park on Monday.
