On Tuesday Melbourne was covered with a thick blanket of smoke. It forced the abandonment of Sharapova’s match due to the increase of toxicity in the air caused by the bushfires. Also, the temperature touched the 40 degrees celsius bar. The smoky conditions compelled the officials to halt her play in the second set.

The five-time Grand Slam champion was coughing after the match. “We played for over two hours. And I actually started feeling a little bit of a cough coming up to the end of the second set. However, I’ve been sick for a few weeks so I thought it was something to do with that,” the Russian told SBS.
