Nick Kyrgios has laboured to a five-set 6-7(3) 6-1 2-6 6-4 6-4 win over Dustin Brown in Friday's second-round clash at Wimbledon.
Only three points were contested before the players disappeared because of rain, and after a four-hour delay they both appeared anxious to make up for lost time.
The Australian took the first set after a break before cruising to a 6-1 second-set win, but Brown took the third 6-2 after his opponent was given an official warning for berating umpire Jake Garner.
In the fourth, Kyrgios rediscovered his composure and, following another rain delay, was able to overcome Brown and serve out for the match.
