The 2023 Australian Open described in detail, in the form of day-by-day summaries.
Play was halted for most of the afternoon, due to extreme heat policy. In the evening, a torrential rain fell, cancelling play on the outside courts.[4]
Rain disrupted play in all of the outdoor courts for over six hours at 17:30. Three of the five main courts (with retractable roofs) were actively open for the remainder of the session. The doubles matches were rescheduled to Day 4 in order to complete some 1st Round singles matches.
The second round match between Andy Murray and Thanasi Kokkinakis lasted 5 hours and 45 minutes, with Murray won in fifth sets that it ended at 4:06 am AEDT, twenty-eight minutes shy of the latest night match finish since Lleyton Hewitt and Marcos Baghdatis in the 2008 Australian Open fifteen years exactly to this date. The match became the second longest match in the Australian Open history following the epic 2012 men's singles final.
