It was another scorcher at the Australian Open and for the second day in a row, a French player bore the worst of it then took aim at organizers.
Wozniacki trailed Jana Fett 5-1 in the third set and stared at two match points on the Croatian’s serve before winning six games in succession to move into the third round 3-6 6-2 7-5 on an eventful Wednesday in Melbourne where temperatures exceeded 30 degrees Celsius.
