Deadly snake interrupts tennis match in Brisbane

One of Australia’s most deadly snakes has interrupted a tennis match in Brisbane. Former US Open champion Dominic Thiem was facing Australia's James McCabe during a first-round qualifier at the Brisbane International when a snake slithered on to the court. The umpire stopped play after the reptile was spotted by fans. The match was subsequently suspended for 40 minutes until snake catchers arrived. The 50-centimetre snake was identified as an eastern brown.
