Britain’s Jacob Fearnley was forced off court as play was suspended at the Madrid Open due to a power outage.

The third-round tie between Fearnley and Grigor Dimitrov had reached a critical stage, Fearnley breaking the 15th seed’s serve to stay in the match, when a loss of power in the local area affected scoreboards and the camera above the court.
