Unbearable noise forced a match close to the Australian Open's polarizing "party court" to be moved, but the men playing in front of "extremely drunk" fans said they loved the atmosphere. A second-round clash between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina was briefly suspended on Wednesday night in the opening set at Melbourne Park.

Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime has won the Adelaide International, beating American Sebastian Korda 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the final.

While his 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Arthur Cazaux of France was going on, the noise was drifting over to the adjacent Court 8, where Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain was starting his matchup with 29th-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada.

The 23-year-old’s professional tennis education has been going at warp speed and he followed up his upset of Nick Kyrgios in round one by defeating France’s Arthur Cazaux 3-6 7-5 6-2 6-3.
