JOHANNESBURG (AP)—Kevin Anderson of South Africa rallied for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 win Tuesday over Stephane Bohli before rain ended play at the SA Tennis Open.
Anderson dropped the first set to his unseeded Swiss opponent before winning a rain-interrupted match.
Anderson saved six of seven break points to avoid the fate of second-seeded Yen-hsun Lu and fifth-seeded Florent Serra, who lost in the first round.
More rain forced tournament officials to call off play, delaying top-seeded Feliciano Lopez’s match against Frank Dancevic until Wednesday.
Taiwan’s Lu, ranked 37th, lost to qualifier Milos Raonic of Canada 6-3, 6-3.
Raonic, who reached the fourth round on his Australian Open debut, had 14 aces and converted all three break points.
Unseeded Dustin Brown of Germany used 15 aces to help defeat Serra 6-4, 6-4 in 54 minutes. Eighth-seeded Michal Przysiezny defeated Martin Fischer 6-1, 6-2.
