Last updated: 13/03/2008 17:03
Top seed Maria Sharapova survived searing heat and a stomach problem to beat France's Camille Pin in an epic first-round tie at the Australian Open.
The Russian was two points from defeat after letting a 5-0 lead slip in the final set but somehow came through for a 6-3 4-6 9-7 win.
Sharapova will next play compatriot Anastassia Rodionova, who defeated Roberta Vinci of Italy 6-3 6-1.
All play on the outside courts was suspended due to extreme heat.
